Default Which WC block performace is better?

I have purchased both a D-TEK Sprial --> http://www.dtekcustoms.com/index.asp...ProdID=22&HS=1

and DangerDens Maze3 --> http://www.dangerden.com/mall/blocks/maze3.asp

Which one is the better performer? I've looked at reviews but I wouldn't mind a side by side comparison. I know I got the Dtek at a good price (25 on sale) and It seems like a really good and solid block. But the DangerDen I got cheap as well (used off ebay) so I am debating what would give me the best performance. I don't really want to play around and switch up the blocks. I'm hoping one of you could give me either a side by side comparison link or self experience with both blocks


Thanks

errr, dude, that link you posted has another to a review of the spiral
there's a chart that gives comparisons of end user temperatures
the spiral wins by a small margin, meaning you should go for whichever is more convenient for you- lower price, shipping charge- fittings etc
both blocks have a similar channel concept to them- hybrid with mild jet impingment
