intercooler hose keeps blowing off under boost

[syclone74]

My intercooler hose keeps coming off under boost, any suggestions? Also I installed a new cam ( comp cams 510 lift) and vortec heads ported and polished with 205 & 160 valves. What should my timing be. Need some help.

stock intercooler? if so, do you have the middle intercooler support brace installed?

Tighten the hose clamp.....

clamps and timing

clamps and timing

Worm screw clamps suck, use the better, more reliable, more expensive, t-bolt clamps. I would set the timing at 0 degrees with the EST wire unplugged. The wire is located on the passenger side compartment, right on the firewall near where the passenger's feet would rest.

all the above is true. Another trick is using hair spray on the metal pipes. Funny as it may sound, it works pretty damn well!
