Flow restriction is an important factor, and should have been included in the roundup. BillA would be ashamed to see this (I suspect he's reading from a distance, laughing at us all). As he pointed out so often, some blocks are extremely restrictive at higher flow rates, which makes them a bad choice. Also, some block designs do not offer much more performance with a higher flow rate, some do. Where's that data?
A lot of people pick a block based on the barb sizes (not terribly accurate, but a requirement). Where's that data?
Air flow rate through the rad is also critical, especially at higher flow rates. Where's that data?
There are many, many other blocks out there. Excluding the Innovatech was a no-no, as it is a top performing block.
Like I said before, kudos to Steve for rounding up 19 blocks... but all we got is that the BTMS is bad, and a long list for us all to go surf the net with.

so basically you jsut want the specifics from the set-up
like the fan CFM and the bard size which were the same and therfore eliminated
waht steve did was use the scientific process to lower the variables down to 1 - the waterblock
flow restriction was taken into account as waterblocks that restricted flow more performed worse than those that did not
of course flow rates matter, but flowrates are dictated by the pump (kept the same) rad (kept the same) and the waterblock (the variable) so blocks with better designs performed better than those with worse designs who restricted flow
