a couple of comments
pH, sorry for your having to pick up after me, and Thanks
Blackeagle, if you knew Pug was a troll, please PM me next time so I too may save some time

pH, re system/kit testing
I'm afraid there are 2 bits of info you'll probably want to know; coolant/inlet temp and the flow rate
the temp is easy, the flow rate will require the use of a previously 'calibrated' wb (or rad) from which the dp across the device will yield the flow rate

I am presently testing 'kits' (heat die, wb, pump, rad, and fill and bleed kit - or our res) and those 2 bits of info are key to understanding 'why'

EDIT:
Cathar, did not mean to imply that this exercise was mfgr specific
I just recognized that Swiftech is not an appropriate supplier of true max flow components
