My number seem to me normalizing out with the bumper block. But its hard to really tell cuz my scan gauge calibration changed a few %'s with the last fill up. I did make an opening in the belly pan that should exhaust the heat and the incoming air from the engine bay, and rejoin the air stream. I have not yet tested. Made the opening and didnt leave the house after. I will post some pics tomorrow.

My temps did rise a little.
Normal was 182f 184f.
With the belly pan it stayed at 184f (+/-)(didn't check to much).
Then with the bumper block 193f.
I hope this opening helps with some of the heat.
