Milt,
No, I haven't tried it with the louvers open. I installed the louvers
last fall and then the wx turned cool. I will try it again when the wx
warms up a bit.
Here's a link to my louver installation for those who are interested.
http://vincesrocket.com/Additions%20after%2010-27-04.htm about 1/4 of
the way down.
I installed a simple track so that I could install covers for winter
ops. They will slide easily in or out through the airbox hole. Of
course, you gotta remove the airbox first. I don't have a photo of these
on the webpage yet as I added those in January.

SNIP Vince,
I have 1 Naca scoop under the left wing for the rear seat and one on the
right side of the Fuselage in the same exact location as yours for the
front. I have no discernible difference in air temps from either (based
on feel).
Have you opened up your louvers and tried it?
My best guess is it is (as you also suspect) it may be air spilling out
of the inlets.
After adding louvers my CHTs dropped on average 15 degrees and,
subjectively, I think I picked up a little speed.
Never paid any attention to air temp from the vents before I put the
louvers in.
