Make sure you have NOT stripped the clamp. NO ONE knows how or bothers to use a torque wrench anymore. They just over tighten the $HlT out of everything and wonder why it goes to $HlT. Clean the hoses... don't go crazy and use something silly like brake cleaner. Then spray some cheap hairspray on the connection (or use finger <jokes here>). Reinstall with proper torque and live free of charge pipes blowing off.

Isn't the proper tq tighten them right before they break?

It's a stage 2 goose tune. Are you saying 22 is no big deal?
I’m sayin’ 22 is spinning the stocker’s pretty hard. I am not able to comment on longevity, durability, design spec, etc. but, i was given to understand that much over 18psi, the stockers will produce a cr@p ton of heat with minimal increase in power because they’re past their peak efficiency. I’m sure there are folks on here spinning them harder and some not as much it just seems a bit on the high side.

I’m glad this was an easy to troubleshoot issue.

Dude that brought back memories. Aqua net was the fuel for the potato cannon back in the day. It had the most alcohol content
