Careful you don't overheat! Also, we distinguish between a rad block and a grille block. One helps with aerodynamics & warm-up times, the other really only helps with warm-up times.

After that, I'd be focusing on the underbody and the rear of the vehicle. The rear is where the biggest gains lie (though harder to fabricate stuff there).
