So...essentially "sucking" more air through the remaining opening in the grille? Hmm...hadn't thought about that. Might be easier to just close the remaining grille opening and do more of a air dam then the belly pan. That's a lot of real estate underneath with the suspension to work around.
But, it also highlights the next experiment that I will try using the baseline (w/o grille block) and get the mechanical air swatter removed and see what difference that makes. My guess is that it will be a bigger improvement on FE given the large amount of air it is always moving...two drives up the driveway clears most of the leaves!
