Message	I can lay my hand on the plenum after a drive and not get burned. In the cooler < 50 deg temps, you can keep your hand on the plenum almost indefinitely. As for the nose panel, there was datalogging a while back that showed the nose panel alone didn't reduce temps, while combined with the radiator air guides, reduced COOLANT temps some 2-5 deg. 1993 TT.
