Bob,
-8 is a bit severe but certainly -10 will slow down the flow and help the temp stay warmer than -12.

As far as the block off of air, that is exactly what I was saying. I place a layer of tin foil over the cooler so 1- It blocks off the air and 2- It blends in with the cooler and doesn't look too bad.

Also, as I said, the 427 street cars never had coolers period so, if you have to have one for the look and never have intentions of any serious track use, put it in and run the lines to the frame and don't hook them up at all.
