X2 on the puller fan. To cool down after switch-off, have you considered a timer on a puller fan to keep it running for several minutes?

That seems to work well for most people. Helps remove heat from the radiator and circulates air out of the engine compartment.

Some add hood louvers but that's probably not feasible on a finished car.

I found that NOT shrouding the radiator completely helps airflow through the engine bay a lot. Of course, not so much at idle. I leave it open at the top.

I suggest to help air to escape by having gaps between bonnet and body. Ie do not run rubber all around.

Are your side vents open? I have seen cars where they were just ornamental.
Also, I never had inner fenders which helped airflow too. Do you have a scoop where eat can escape past the air filter?

I am surprised though that your fuel doesn't boil...
