If it is on the front half it is in a negative pressure area and needs to be moved to the rear or on the bottom if forward is better for your engine installation. As far as "cooking on the ramp", we put two drop down vents on the top of our cowl. The are hinged so the high pressure while flying keeps them closed and at rest they drop down to the open position and let out all that nasty hot air.
