Yes, I'm thinking that would have a lot of benefits and self-installed, they are only about $50. You just wouldn't want to run them all night like we used to when I was a kid.
The grill block is very effective I think.

So I'm using moderate throttle when engine is running.

So you start EOC right away? I'd think full temp would take a good while at say 35 on city streets.
