I know this is an old topic, just wandering if anyone has found the magic solution to the hot tunnel and subsequent hot cabin at low altitudes in the 10.

I have the VANS mod dumping fresh air in the tunnel, I have insulated the tunnel, I have the firewall insulated inside, nothing on the outside. I have louvers about twice the size that came with the kit installed on the bottom of the cowling. 

Any suggestions short of air conditioning.

I don't have a problem with the engine or oil temps.

I just followed the plans, used Van's kit parts, and only have one  

heat muff connected to the inlet valve.



I also installed a butterfly valve ahead of the heat muff intake,  

which stays closed most of the time.



No problem with heat in the tunnel.
