Why not take your nice new thick heat exchanger and mount it next to your shoulder vertically and and perpendicular to the direction of travel? A bit of fabrication for an inlet and shrouding, and the fan mounted behind the rad for sitting stationary while waiting on your run.
This might simplify the plumbing a bit as well.
As to the current configuration I'm just guessing, but I would venture that if you removed the wing it would not significantly alter the problem. Just not pushing enough air in through that narrow slit no matter how fast you are going.
Unlike Art, I have no science to back my submission.
