I think Russ's 911 shroud works fine for what he does because the engine is more closely related to the 911 than a TIV or any other radial fan equipped engine. I would like to get some data from all 4 cylinders of russ' engine to see how they compare to what I have seen with the TIV head based engines and even what I have seen with my billet heads and the DTM. It might help shed some light on why some things occur.
Worth noting that Russ has used the same cooling setup from 100 hp all the way to 400+ and always using the stock undercyl shrouds
In 10 years of racing i think he still is using the same crank and rods (we keep telling him to push the boat out and treat himself to some new stuff!!)
Its true he's had less sealing issues now he's got 911 heads on but it could be for more than 1 reason i.e better sealing technique, better air managment of 911 heads etc
