So, how much grille block is too much?
It was relatively warm today (45F). With a double grille block (block the A/C rad up front, and a cardboard piece sandwiched in front of the coolant radiator). Driving in-town or on the highway, the fans kick on and temps rise and level to 210F reported (likely 195-200F at the thermostat).
It's the most aggressive grille block I've tried. Warmups are much quicker and efficient IATs are available sooner. I filled with a higher octane fuel for the higher temps and the knock. Hopefully, the Winter temps will allow normal operation.
Any advice? Pull the power to the fans, pull the cardboard? Wait for the cold?
