Pushing air into the wheel well area would also help.
Did you cut back your backing plate when the AP BBK was installed? I know it's common to do so when installing a BBK. Also, sometimes I think it can even be removed if I'm not mistaken. If the backing plate is cut back (or removed) such that it doesn't reduce the airflow to the interior perimeter of the rotor, then the veins should be able to suck in fresh air just fine. Yes, a backing plate with a duct to incoming air would be ideal however.
