I have tried various configuration with the Connie to cope with the summer heat. Half fairing was pretty good but I kinda like the lower fairing. I finally took out the inner baffles and ran that way with the lower fairing in place. I definitely feels cooler to me, I have thought the baffles were counterproductive and in redirecting air flow as designed they stifled cooling air flow as well. I have a cut out belly pan too so between that and removing the baffles there is a lot of air moving through and around the engine.
