My Kia Sportage got to 226 at 90% block.
this....notice 3 of 4 are blocked (bottom one is open) lower grille is 100%

then I removed the top.....
Temps only got as high as 220 and stayed around 205.
In my infiniti, 230 was the warning light
most car thermostates open at 18-185.
How much of a gain did you see with that grille block ?
