Well thanks to some board members after getting tired of standard zipper like clamps loosening and leaking or on the pressure side the hoses actually blowing off have switched to T-BOLT CLAMPS. Just the ones with the nylon insert lock nuts - not the ones with the springs.

Have to check all connections on the pressure side for sure - manifold to intakes, outlet port on supercharger to manifold - very little air getting through a connection can drop your boost to virtually nothing and you don't want to be taking everything apart every 3 weeks to tighten the clamps again.

While doing so I did note that that the bottom of the boost hose from the charger is VERRRRY close if not rubbing on the frame rail on that side. I already removed a stud bolt from there to get clearance but wonder if anyone cut / bent the frame to get some more clearance ? WHen the engine twists/torques on the mounts this would rub.
