This was the subject of a conversation I had with Deems Davis and Gary Specketer
at RV-10 HQ at OSH. Deems went the James Cowl route with a Powers alt air mod.
Gary went with a standard Van's cowl and a modified Cessna air filter.
The consensus was if they were to do it again was to to go with a standard Van's
cowl and modify it depending what you are using for air.
Granted this is just a sampling of two opinions.
