Just wanting to know, what is the best silicone hosing ( Brand/ specifications) to use for high boost applications? Had 2 blowouts this weekend and need to replace with something a bit gruntier

Mine are all M&H. Got them from sta parts. They seem pretty good. I wouldnt expect the pressure you see is too high for them. You sure its not the clamps? Get good t bolt ones if you dont already.
