This creates sort of a parachute effect, but the excess air has nowhere to go, so instead of going around the radiator, like it normally would, it creates a (insert proper term here) that blocks further airflow until the air that's already being pressurized in the grille/radiator area is through the fins of the radiator.
In other words, it builds pressure there, so excess air is forced around the grille, rather than allowed through it.

Wouldn't that be most effective if you used to block more grill so because the air that gets through is more effective?
Also, as far as improvements, I showed a 6% improvement on my Jeep with an A-B-A test. This is probably more than I'll get in the real world, I'd prefer more test runs, but I only have so much time to run tests. When I put it back on soon, I'll see if it has a noticeable effect in daily driving. BTW, no overheating and I believe Wranglers are known for this problem.
