I agree with IDOXLR8 about the clamps though, you'll definitely want t-bolts with 18+lbs of boost.

Even with that bead, we have blown hoses off if t-bolts weren't used. Maybe you will have better luck.

Props on a nice setup. I'm so jealous! We have practically the same rotating assembly, heads, oil pan, damper, etc etc etc... but I have no SC 
Again, good job and let us know what that beast puts down to the pavement.
