Default Power steering hose

Help! I am at my wits end which doesn't take long. I have a 96 LT4 that I Autocross, I started blowing out seals in the Rack but got one built & now it is holding up fine. Now I have been blowing out the O'ring on the pressure hose on the pump. I have replaced the pump twice & it is an OEM Delco pump, I thought that I might be getting too much pressure, but not on three pumps. I am also on my third hose, plus trying diff. O'rings. I do get some high RPM's on some of the High Speed tracks that I have been on and after around six runs, BOOM! goes the hose. I have tried fittiing a tight alum. bracket that I made to hold the line in place, no luck.
Is there a hose that I could get to stop this prob. maybe a custom made rather then just an after market from a parts store? Any help would be greatly appre. Thanks, Don

DRM makes a custom braided hose, then use a Turn One pump.

Turn One is a company that does racing steering racks and pumps. They can take yours and modify it of send you a new one that they do.

Talk to Randy at Doug Rippie Motorsports. Their hose works great.

Same as above post, I've got both pieces on my auto-x only 94 and haven't had any problems since switching to this set up.
