Not sure on your separations. You want the jets to be about 4-6mm high from the surface they're hitting, and you want them to be no closer than 4mm to each other from edge to edge (not middle to middle) to avoid cross-interference. For an AthlonXP sized die, that pretty much limits you to a 2x2 grid of circular jets of 3mm in diameter, or a 3x3 grid of circular jets of 2mm in diameter for common pump use (<2m head height). For higher pressure pumps (>5m head) drop the jet diameters to 75% of that stated. Base-plate should be about 2mm thick (in copper).
Note, these are just my personal thoughts on the matter, others may differ.

Thanks for the input, very much appriciated! I am going to use this in REV. 2.0. I am not fluid in metric so I will have to do some conversions. I think I am headed in the right direction though. I do not belive you need big winding channels with lots of copper around them to make a good block. I am pretty confident I can turn this into a very simple to make (at least for me) and decent performing block. It may take until REV. 40.0 to do but I am good with that.
I am going to put this one together and hook it up as is and see what it can do. REV 2.0 should be a large step forward as it will be in Copper and several modifications to this one. I am going to build one per every Revision being they are so easy to make. It will get a little harder when I mill the oval out but I think I am going to make that oval much smaller than it is now. There is to much area for the water to flow. Sounds backwards I know, but I think it is right. I want the water to enter and leave as fast as possible so less area for the water to move around in the better I think. We will see.
Feels good to be building blocks again! Didn't realize how much I liked doing it.
And for anyone wanting a conversion source this place rocks.
