How about guiding the air
away from the rad? The radiator and its grill are a partial air trap, so directing more air onto it may increase drag. Directing air to the side or top should be better. Also, you could probably cover the other end of the grill, diverting that air to the other side. How much? You'll find out by trial and error. Cover maybe the whole right half with cardboard and drive around with that. If you notice that the temperature is too high and the fan keeps turning on, then shorten the block by 10cm. Mid-summer is the best time for adjusting grill block size.
