Many moons ago I sent a message out to the MGB V8 list asking for info on
their cooling configurations and their results (Runs too hot most of the
time, runs hot some of the time, runs hot in traffic jams, bloody perfect)
but I only got 13 replies. One thing did stand out and that is the
majority of almost perfect cooling was from people who used standard MGB V8
rads and the standard MGB V8 dual pusher fans - strange but true. I only
wished more of our 179 members on the list had responded.

Part of the equation is that it not only has to be a "high-pressure" area relative to the atmosphere, but it has to be "higher" than the area you want it to flow into. When a cowl induction system is ported into a carb, which is at engine vacuum, you'll definitely get flow. Some parts of the engine bay could be at a higher-than-atmospheric pressure due to a ram-air effect (probably near the front), some could be at atmospheric, if the air isn't moving at all (probably towards the firewall) , and others could be lower-than-atmospheric if there is some air-flow in the region (around the block).I read in a summit racing tech tip that when placing a cowl induction scoop you should align the opening roughly 1-2"s from the windscreen in order to take full effect of the high pressure area in front of it.
