I'm Well it's 78F outside and when going to my BF's house I got warmer than normal, it hovered around 208 and spiked to 214 when climbing the hill to his house, without a grill block I never get over 206. My intake temps went up roughly 20F which is nice, I just need to open up a little bit of airflow on the drivers side of the grill, which is where the radiator is. I did notice an decrease in speed loss when coasting, it actually made quite a difference. I'm sure once I get my under-panels replaced it will go down even more. I need to make a quick disconnect system for the grill block, was thinking of using those press tabs (they are metal and look like an oval) so I can carry a full grill block and half of that. That way in the morning and it's freezing outside I can pop it on, then with the drive home when it's warmer, I can put on the half.
