CHT : all temperatures are too high 

Similar as to  “oil temperature too high” (

see here

The installation of the ram air baffles is very 
important. 

Make sure that enough air can reach the air 
boxes. 

Close all gaps around the air boxes. That way the 
airflow is forced to go over the cylinder / cylinder 
heads. 

Incoming air must find an easy way out.  Make 
sure there is no interference with the air coming  
through the oil cooler  and create an escape-way 
out of the engine room that is big enough.   

See installation manual for a testing procedure.
