if you look at the video where its just the engine starting you see a hose on the back wall with a valve that is open? that one connects the two strainers together.... that is one of the things we are going to replace with a bigger one this winter then what skater put in for us... and we are going to put in a bigger blow off pressure valve.

We ran into water pressure issues going above 110 mph and beyond on Drambuie last spring.

We did exactly what Eddie mentioned connecting both strainers and taped 4 water dumps with 10# waste gates to it going directly outside and have not run into water pressure issues since.

We also use braided lines from the pickups to the strainers as the pressures there are still up at higher speeds this being before the waste-gates... (also cause we burst some hoses last year a couple times!)

GL couldn't you put a dump before the strainer as well to keep that area's water preasure down?

Space is restricted from pick up to the strainers and the strainers can take the 40-60# the upper speed generate. I would not risk engines and chillers with those pressures for any length of time in my very humble opinion.
