the title about says it all. so is there anything besides the warranty thats different? i'm looking at an xp1800
 
ok cool, i have no use for another retail hsf, i have the stock one from my tbird and a spare volcano 7. and i have a v9 for the new 1800
 
From what I've read here, the best O/Cing p4s are the oem c-1 1.8As, the ones from Dull. They have been doing 3.0 to 3.7 or so.
