Default Air scoops and fans

Just out of curiosity... I have Durbahn airscoops installed and since I still use the bike on the road I left the fans on.
Yesterday I got stuck in a colossal traffic jam and saw temperature climb to 108°C. Nothing to worry about since as soon as the road opened up it dropped down to 84°C in a breeze and stayed there despite the heat.
But I am thinking about improving the fans efficiency to help them work better with the air scoops.
I've read topics both suggesting and advising against inverting fans polarity and I am a bit confused.
I would need the fans to move air from the inner side of the radiator to the outside but I am not so sure just inverting the polarity would work well given the fans conformation.
Thanks.
