Tom ,are you talking about the placement of the dump valves in the front of my carb box or the hoses running from them to the catch can? The hoses did blow off on one run ,I drilled a series of holes in the top of the catch can and they haven't blown off since. They are 1 1/4" ID. I used the hose because I was concerned about dumping a load of water/meth into a hot engine bay when the dump valves opened. Thanks.
Mark,those manifold flanges look to good to cut up! I would have thought a pair of laser cut steel shims would only be a few dollars?

The Hoses tend to restrict the air flow when the dump valves open. Keefer used to throw the belt off of his Procharger engine when he had the hoses on his deal because the air was not able to be dumped fast enough to keep the supercharger from meeting a resistance and the the belt came off.

With your turbo deal you might have been in a partial turbo surge mode before you added the additional breather holes in your cans.

Agree that dumping water/meth into the engine bay/under a car is a bad idea.
