The price has come down. I bought one of the 1st pieces when they came out,$1400. I don't use the blow off valves. I start the engine with the throttle open in case of back fire. That way the pressure escapes past the throttle blades.

Right on. If you do that you will never blow a manifold apart. I ran that manifold for a couple years, no blow off valves.
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

I disagree... I was at 131 a couple of years ago for the CC Event Race and that is where I blew my 2nd intake. I started the car and was "driving" through the pits on Friday to go get teched in and while "driving" the intake exploded. There were many Moparts members there that saw this happen and even Nick Wilson from Compuflow saw it happen. Get the blow off valves

I agree with your statement about the drippin fuel - I also know of many others that have had the issue while driving. I know there are many that have never had an issue and that is great but maybe one day just when you are ready to go to the final round and she blows ----  then you find the carb issue that was hidden for a while and now it just cost you alot more money. Not every car will be perfect every time - get the blow offs

I went way cheap on my cross ram. Just got some plastic plugs from McMaster Carr and submerged a few in gas for a few days. Found a couple that didn't warp and melt. Then I drilled a few holes in the intake and siliconed the plugs in there.
I've "sneezed" a couple times. Nothing major. Everytime, it pops those things out! I either find them or replace them with others that I keep in the glovebox! I've got about $7 invested in this!
That's just what I would expect from you
