LOL!

Anyway, the car automatically disables A/C at WOT, so now that you mention it the power loss was actually not including A/C.

Careful you don't burn out your cooling fan with that grill block. I would guess it's running non stop, unless you disconnected it.
It was still running when I parked the car and shut it off.

Also that fan is using electricity it's getting from the alternator, which is getting it's power from my gas tank.
It was definitely NOT efficient.
