Now to ME, that is not based on any sort of accurate test date. What is being proposed really in essence is that a German wb will perform better at 1LPM than the Cascade-class block does at 8LPM. That is a VERY bold statement; performance of wbs drops DRAMATICALLY at 0.25GPM; even for thicker bp blocks.

Sorry PH.
I can see how thats the way you take it but (as I posted both quotes) I was thinking more along the lines of British or European Sports (particularly earier ones) car V's American Hotrod.(of the same era)
On straight line performance is no contest.
Take into account looks, handleing, size etc and the answer becomes less clear.
BUT when the too work together you get the AC Cobra ..
But you are seeing this allready in watercooling. Look at the Kit Pug suggested......
By the way if anyone has a right hand drive cobra they want to get rid of let me know..
And thats another argument I want to hear discussed. Right hand drive cars have to be so much better than left hand drive..... You can hold the steering wheel in teh right hand when changing gears....... :shrug:
