I went to the overclockers site and reread much of that article on water block testing. And if you go and look you'll find that the block BillA changed the inlet barb on for improved performance was in fact one of the big boys blocks, a swifty. The graphs #4-6 show the results gianed by the change of the inlet barb. If Swiftech hadn't thought of it as large as a outfit as they are, why be so sure that Jess has? I remember being surprised at the time I first read it, as most of what you read tells you larger lines and higher volume of flow are better. That article showed me several things, that is why I remembered it well. It taught me that velocity, not volume is what matters most. Cathar's block is a prime example of that.

Was trying to offer a helpful thought DD, sorry it seems to have POed you. And good for you for supporting your home boy's block.
