Id imagine by putting the flow in parallel that you'd be adding more restriction, by adding greater tube surface area (and extra fittings, more importantly)

Surely you're using all the head pressure the pump can give, or else it would be flowing at full manufacturers rated lpm, eh?

I guess Bill can answer the 0.5gpm question - what would be interesting would be to know the pressure drop on the 3 commonly thought of 'performance' blocks (maze, mcw50, sp fusion)

at any rate, for a silent set-up id be more concerned on radiator surface area + fan speeds than anything else.
