Been busy.
I made an exhaust port on the belly pan. Check the pics.
I did try a grill block but 5 miles of driving and I saw my temp hit 220f so I pulled off the free way and took it off. Then just last night with the bumper block temps where hitting 200f it was fine when I was in motion but when I stopped at a light is when the temps started going up. I noticed that when my intake air temp went down my engine/water temp went down.
I took that off bumper block on just drove home on the streets 43mph and saw my MPG numbers go quite high and the load go lower then usual. And that was with no bumper/grill block and just the exhaust port. I don't feel the parachute effect any more. Temps where at normal 182-184f.
If you notice the middle dipping down in the exhaust port I fixed that. I tied it up so it stays up. Pic later.
Going to try with just a grill block and leave the bumper open and see how that works out.
