It's actually kilo-Joules per second.

Kilo-Jewels per second being a measure of the rate of mining of gemstones
Yeah, it's Kj/Sec to stop it being confused with Kw of power, as 100kw of power might need 200kw of cooling, and people tend to get confused by that.

Yepp, you're running a 11.7:1 AFR.

would it be hard to add square inches?

I seriously read Kilo-jews... which relates to something completely different. i was quite shocked, blinked and then read it again.
ON-topic: Is square inches the american calculation for the cooling?

I don't think so. I believe that it would be a calculation for drag. To my knowledge, cooling must be measured in a unit of energy, which inches is not.

Square inches have nothing to do with cooling directly, you cannot compare kJ/s and sq. inches in any meaningful way.
1 Hitler ~ 20 mJews/sec ;(

Not very tasteful. Or funny.

I chuckled for a second. Sure its bad what happened, but no need to stay sad over and over and over it.
Thanks for clearing up that sq and kJ thing!

That is very true. But there is also no reason to make jokes about it.

Well the English(or non-SI) unit for Heat Transfer is BTU/h. So yes, it would be impossibly hard.

The kilojoules (1*10^3 J or 1000 J (Joules)) is used to measure energy, work and heat.
J=kg m2/s2.
A Watt (W) is kg m2/s3; relationed with the joule, is this: W= 1J/s (s=second).
In conclusion, 1 KJ/S is the same that 1000W.
