Sweet... I drove the car to my wife's OB visit today (expecting our first any day now!!) and was pleased with the grill block's performance.
1st - most importantly, the car didn't overheat on the highway. I was so overjoyed that I decided to try the a/c and see if it was safe too. It was hot and steamy outside, so this was a good test. Temp gauge read approximately 10F higher than normal, but stayed where I'm not worried.
2nd - (this isn't an official test, btw), I EOC'd from 65 mph in a 60 zone before a long downhill + offramp on the way home. Normally when I did this, I slowed slightly going down the hill, and by the time I hit the turn in the offramp, I was moving ~35 mph (30 mph turn, so I usually didn't have to hit the brakes), plus I typically have 2-3 cars behind me who catch up on the slowdown.
Tonight, the car accelerated to ~73 mph and I was doing about 50 and had to hit the brakes when I entered the turn! Either there was a hell of a tail wind (could have been some, since it was storming), or the grill block works!!! Official data to come later.
