Re: Anyone running a grill block read this one

More important then the areo is keeping the engine bay at the optimal temp for the best mpg.
The balance between the optimal engine bay temp and not having the fan coming on too often is the best.
I believe that car manufacturers only make the grill openings to suit worst case scenario for cooling ie: biggest opening for max cooling. which is valid, but thats 100% of the time.
My goal is to automate a grill block to open and close as needed in graduated amounts, but its mostly going to be based on engine bay temp, with automated safety overrides as needed.
Thanks for the read
Dennis
