Open Cockpit Static

[Wichawk]

When I fire up the engine the airspeed indicator comes up more than my temp gauge or tach. Sitting still the airspeed reads about 20 at idle and 40 during runup. Of course this also means that I have somewhere around +40 during most of a flight. The static is only on the back of the instruments. Does anyone believe I could at least lessen the error by porting the static out of the cockpit?
