for a given wb this can only be determined by testing
- but with very accurate data the respective curves could be plotted to predict such

before upsizing the pump, sort out the nozzle configuration
sorry, forgot you're side to side

Yea I'll have to see how much a new one will cost, I know their not cheap.

I've changed the design of the block to a centre inlet after seeing how Cathar's performed (monkey see monkey do) anyway I can easily make another block, and expriment, that part isn't an issue for me.

As for heat, since I use evaporative cooling, I'll utilize the pressure capabiltiy of the pump to use a stack of micro irrigation misters in a spray chamber, or something similer, shouldn't be too much of an issue.

While I'm in it for the overclocking, I'm also in it for the hobby, and my hobbys are rarely cheap
