I have a nozzle mod in mind for one of mine but it's a "get it right or screw up the mid plate" type mod. Not really geared towards increasing pressure as much as increasing "spray area" while trying to maintain the current pressure drop as much as possible.
Ah, we're thinking along the same lines then

Then people can decide for themselves what's important..

Also wouldn't hurt to have some sort of scoring on mounting system since it is really important that its easy. A difficult block to mount might be a good performer for someone with a lot of testing experience, but perform poor for those mounting a block for the first time. This is probably not emphasized enough..
Hmmm, skinnee is going to be doing pdrop on these blocks, hopefully that'll work out. I guess in the meantime I could throw together a flow vs. pumping power chart.

As for mounting scoring--I wish I could but it really is subjective and I think they'd all be in two camps, an 8-9.5 camp and a 1-3 camp. I sometimes wish some manufacturers would stop trying to get more performance and focus on improved mounting (modern Swiftech, D-Tek Pro-Mount, and Koolance mounting are all great, I think) and lower cost.

With all the CPU blocks I have at my disposal...which ones do I grab first when I just need to throw one on the testbed to do something? Koolance CPU-360 or the Apogee GTZ-SE, depending on what backplate is already there (I'd go for the Apogee XT over the GTZ-SE, but it's incompatible with my eVGA E758 ). It's all because of mounting too...they're just so much better than the EK/HK/AC/Enzo/DD kits.

As for performance loss due to mount difficulty--I hear ya, but that's even more difficult to quantify
