I have done a lot of pressure studies on the inlets, cowl(top/bottom) and oil cooler. I have 2 coolers, the front is for an IO540 with another smaller one with its owns cool air inlet on the back baffle. I am in the process of making my armpit scoops smaller for less drag. I have the same engine you have and run 320 on the under probes and 360 on the top plug probes. Never seen over 425 on the top even under the worst case. I have spent a lot of time on this and might be able to help.
