No, the flow dynamics would be different: the water against the channel walls would flow right through.
I know that it's restrictive, but as a replacement to the TC-4 turbulators, it should all come out the same.
On the other hand, if it is restrictive, it would concentrate the flow around the channel walls, where it needs to be. The result would be a block that is restrictive, but that performs better.
Hey, it's just a mod. I'd never build a block this way anyways. If I did, I'd put "steps" right on the channel walls (as hard as it would be to mill).
