Hey guys,

I'm currently playing around with a few configurations in GGDT and am interested in simulating the performance of a cannon using a 3/4 inch Alpha QEV since I hear such good things about them. I've gone to the company's website as well as searched the internet and Spudfiles for a bloody spec sheet but I can't for the life of me find one! If anyone knows where I can find one, or already has data about the flow coefficients for Alpha QEVs (or even some general performance comparisons with some of the major competitors) I would be eternally grateful. Plus you'll get a cookie. A delicious cookie.

It's important that I choose the right QEV since their flow can be quite poor, depending on the model, and I'm concerned that if I purchase the wrong brand then the money I spend on an expensive QEV will not justify a meagre performance gain over my existing spring-loaded BV...
