I have an RV and an ES.  When RV8 guys put the 200hp Lycoming in their planes, they had cooling problems.  One interesting way they dealt with it was to install a louver vent on the bottom of the cowl similar to your heating vent at home.  This vent had a sliding plate on the inside to open and close it.  It produced a nice low pressure pull when open and very little drag.  It was also easy to install.  Just a thought.
