I just put on a front belly pan portion that goes from the chin of the front bumper to the bottom of the radiator support. My car comes with some strategically placed pan pieces directly below the engine and transmission, so this new piece helps the air flow into those without swirling around between the bumper chin and the radiator by closing it off. I will update my findings.

Make sure your radiator fins are clean and not bent. I just washed out the fins of my other vehicle and was surprised at the grime and bugs that were in there that I couldn't even see. It seemed to run cooler while towing too. With all the blocking you are doing it helps to have everything running as well as it can.
