This is a temp grill block to see how it works. If i see results, I am going to sculpt some smooth aerodynamic foam inserts for upper and lower grill openings. I used to fly model airplanes and I plan to cover the foam with monocote heat shrink film like the planes. I have a 400mi road trip coming up, we'll see if my mpgs go up a bit.
