Instead of asking if vehicle speed can be used to increase boost, I'm just maintaining that a grille block doesn't reduce it.
A grill block can reduce it depending how it is done.

I'm also not worried about increasing boost because while it helps put more air (and therefore gasoline) into the cylinder for each combustion cycle, that makes the car go less far for each drop of gasoline.
Not really. As long as you don't drive around with it floored all the time the throttle just closes more until you get the same power you would drive with normally.
