0901 Grill block removed (engine heat steady at 234 degrees F, would overheat if traveling over 60mph, not suitable if emergency speed required)
So when he blows his engine from putting 800 miles per week at high running temperatures... how will that factor into his gas money saved?

If I was driving that "lightly" I'd rather put 87 octane to save some money rather than run the engine hot.

ahahah. blocking radiator flow is the stupidest "mod" I have ever heard of. What happens if he gets a bad batch of gas? or a small leak in the radiator? factor of safety just went down from like 1.2 to 1.000001.

What is a boat tail? I dont get how blocking the air flow into the radiator has increased his gas mileage by like 80% over stock...
