Default Cowl Flaps

Does anyone have an opinion as the the value of cowl flaps in a Thorp
T-18 or other relatively quick experimental?

I recall Tony Bingalis had suggested VW/Porsch actuators for automatic
cowl flaps in on one of his books.

Is the speed gain significant? Or do they mainly just reduce shock
cooling?
