Scott, 
 
This may dependant on your setup. I have the 173 elite, but am using the larger NACA scoops for the XL. 
Scott S. helped me lay those out for my application. Do you have the smaller fuselage, but are using the Lyc.540 now? You can either call the factory for help, or I can measure them this evening when I get home from work.

Maybe I wasn't clear about this.

I didn't ask how to build the NACA's, I have them, I asked how far apart
they should be..
