a vehicle has to already have some aero properties to benefit from a grill block. sealing the front up helps its aero. with a brick all you are doing is blocking radiator. Helps it reach operating temps faster. Its not doing alot of diverting air. You'd need a nosecone or what others are posting IMO. I would do simple cardboard rad blocking, and also work on sealing up the underside.
