Pull air through. Then when the vehicle is in motion it aids the natural air movement.

Pull air through. You dont want the fans to be fighting natural flow when you are moving forwards.

Re: electric fans
I hope you have it running the right way, most fans have blades angled to push or pull and although they work in the opposite direction they aren't as efficient. If they are running opposite to how they are intended, pull them out rotate them (so the front is facing the back) and switch the fans wiring polarity. Should be good to go then
