Message	I couldn't narrow the outlet as I didn't have a press, just whacking on it with a hammer... Version 2 will be a narrower more directed duct outlet. The idea is to get a cooler airstream in behind the center of the rotor that is drawn out by the internal vanes and cool the rotor. Good short article on ducting here: Singular Motorsports I realize my setup is homebrew and some compromises were made (smaller hose diameter, sharp bends in the hose) and will see how it fares this track season and report my findings.
