This oughta stir the pot:

Shock cooling is a myth (unless your CHTs start at redline and you chop the throttle and descend in the yellow airspeed arc--in that case, you *might* shock cool it).

If you are concerned about shock cooling you'd better NEVER fly into rain. Think on that.

I can explain where the myth originated, but I don't have the time right now. Maybe later.
