Do Grill Inserts Impeded Airflow?

I have been thinking about getting a grill insert to make my truck look a bit better and also protect the radiator. I come from the muscle car school of thought where every ounce of air counts, should I be worried? I am more concerned about these damn bugs that are making dents in my radiator than looks. But I dont want to overheat my truck either!

I have not had a single problem with overheating. In fact the gauge never even budged a little bit. This is stop and go traffic, while towing in 90 degree heat.
