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.

John, I have the same hot/cold mixer as you and it has two problems.
Firstly, the vent for the hot air to escape with 'cold' selected is way too
small, and secondly, the butterfly does not seal well and needs a little work.
