I´m very convinced that the Swiftech is a better performer than the Maze BUT you have to replace those horrible fittings on the Swiftech to take advantage of the great flow rates this block offers. Just use straigt 1/2" fittings with regular 1/4" pipe tap and you´ll see a big performance increase. Also people have reported up to 7C lower temps after replacing the gasket between the copper base and the aluminum body with Arctic Silver Epoxy (lean mixture so you can remove it).
