My approximating has shown that parallel paths are detrimental to CPU block performance until either the GPU path has more resistance than the CPU path, or both paths have resistance at least as much as the Storm G4 block.

So, for your bits, the majority of flow will be through the GPU block as its easier, and CPU block will get less flow and perform worse than if both were in series.

However, if you have a dual CPU rig and have a G4 on both, then parallel is better. Same can't be said for less restrictive blocks (eg: LRR White Water) where serial is still better overall.

Don't put the reservoir between the pump and the CPU. It will be presurised and probably leak. Put it just before the pump inlet where it can be used to reduce net-pressure-suction-head.
