On cars i see blocks as more of helping with warm up times than aero but a block no matter inside or out is more aero than a giant grill opening
Interesting, thanks for noting that. I might try both to see if I notice any difference.

Also, I would show more data and A-B-A testing but I don't have my Ultragauge yet, so when I do I'll put up some real numbers.
