But, if you are trying to maximize speed, there are more mportant things to do to reduce cooling drag than filling every tiny opening with TV. Making a plenum is more important. Improving the exit air flow is ore important. Optimizing the intake/exit ratio is more important. Once hose are done, then sealing all tiny openings with RTV is the final step. flew my RV-8 without RTV sealing the baffling and then sealed it arefully with RTV. Zero difference in any temperatures.
