Jason, run your hand through some water a just a few miles per hour. Feel
that resistance. Now move your hand through that same volume of water very
rapidly. That's a *lot* of resistance. Think about how fast the impeller in
your water pump is moving. Consider the convoluted path through the block
and head that the coolant must flow. Next, reconsider your theory. :^)
