And I probably did say that in my opinion it wont be definitively proven until one flies. I'll stick to that. But your dyno testing will certainly add another data point and short of an actual flight test I guess its the best that can be done. It's a shame none of the guys currently flying with known cooling system configurations can be talked into doing some comparison testing of an EWP. There was some testing done by someone (cant remember who) recently that proved the math of certain rocket scientists was out to lunch. Somebody did some bench testing and measured flow rates for an EWP and those rates were real close to published flow rates for the stock Mazda pump without the astronomical current draw that had been previously claimed by some. So I remain curious to see how this works out. I probably wouldnt swap my stock Mazda pump at this point in time because I know it will work. One less variable in the early testing phase. But an EWP may be worth testing at some future point after my basic installation is flying and debugged if you and others are successful.
