They are VERY close. I happen to like the TC-4 better myself...

Hmm... of course, I would like a WW block, but who knows when those will be available in the USA. Or does someone know?

The TC4 is very modable, change the top and you can have a centre inlet over the die with twin outlets, you can put a jet in the centre drill some dimples over the die area and have impingment cooling. you can't do anything with a maze3, I've got one and tried

...

I'd wait a while and see what happens with the US WW, have you tried PM'ing Cathar to see if he has any news?...

I'd PM Cathar... but if I PM'ed him, and everyone else PM'ed him... well, he would have to quit his job to answer all the messages.

I think I will PM him and ask him to post for all of us to read about any updates on his WW block.

Then again, if it's going to be ultra expensive even when made here in the USA, I doubt a degree or two is worth it for me.

Does anyone wonder why the Maze3 has never been tested by Bill Adams? Swiftech put theirs up to the test... Why can't DangerDen show some patriotism here, and face the parade?

Bill Adams... ?

edit- nevermind, I see he's the guy at OC'ers. For that matter, where's the TC-4?

IIRC, he's putting together a report of many commercial waterblocks. The TC-4 might be included in that report.
