Good job, Pierrel!!
I see you MPG really improved on your last tank, too. I wonder how much of that is your grille block vs. P & G?
I can tell you I've had about a 95% grille block on my car for awhile now, and NO hint of overheating. 205 deg. F is the highest I've seen, and this includes climbing some steep mountains in fairly warm weather (for winter), but around here, WAY above freezing - like maybe 50 deg F. I always keep one eyeball glued to the ScanGauge when climbing a hill just in case it overheats, but not even close.
Now, there is a big opening on my car between the bottom lip of the bumper cover and the panel the radiator is in, so the fan can pull air through from that area. When I do my belly pan, that will be sealed-up, so I'll have to take other steps. But right now, I'm seeing no overheating issues. So you should be fine.
