I agree. It's been a long time coming, but I'm glad to see things changing. I can only hope the guy at Koolance that created the craptastic article about Koolance radiators 2 years ago is fired.Originally Posted by headala

everyone needs a second chance..
Ranker honestly, when have you seen me use second par eq on my setups?

Its my fault.. and no im not sorry about it either.[12:37] skinnee: quit helping me procrastinate block reviews, you asshat. :p

You know what was the most interesting thing about that whole debacle? The fact that the competitors who screamed bloody murder and said how much bs the koolance tests were... and said how they were going to prove it... Well guess what the comparison tests they promised never ever materialized. That spoke volumes
Anyway, as Dean noted earlier the 350 block is designed as a more restrictive block and is stated on the site. The 345 is a higher flow block, also as stated. It would be interesting to see that tested as well.
Cheers

Ahh the old KL fanboy. The tests were BS. Cathar even pointed it out itself. KL did a good job by just sweeping the whole ordeal under the rug and starting over at square one. The new 350 block is a fantastic step in the right direction. Not only have they gotten rid of their ALU crap, but they've also pushed the performance envelope. That gets two thumbs up from me.You know what was the most interesting thing about that whole debacle?

However, you'd be a fool to think that KL's test conditions on their radiator debacle weren't comical.
