Michelin Man hose

[Swann, Benjamin R. (BSWANN)]

Tim,

There are several ways.  Grounding out the fuel pump relay is not one of
them.

I have a writup on all of this, but have not posted to my web site yet - no
time.

Let me know if you would like a copy.  I have in MS word, and in RTF.

Regards,

Ben

Ben,
    I noticed in your post that you are running the s-knobben also.  How
did you accomplish overriding your fuel pump shutoff?

Rob,

This was a brand new hose - 1" split wide open at the bottom.

Was accelerating up slight grade ~85mph loaded car, pulling trailer with
3
I5 motors.  Inattentive driver pulled into my lane I let off the
throttle.
When I got clear to pass going up hill, car wouldn't do more than 3 PSI
boost.

I now have the hose wrapped with so many opasses of tape, I can't forsee

this thing blowing.  I would like to try to fabricate a beefier hose
with
the proper shaped end to the Throttle Body.
