Looks like your C6 high pressure hose is the solution. I was talking to Max today and this is going to be the best and easiest solution. See my other post for the luck I had trying to c ome up with something

Why a high pressure P/S line?
I'm asking because my last job was designing P/S systems for GM, Chrysler, Ford, Benz, and others.
I still have connections at Dayco and may be able to have a few prototypes assembled. I believe all the P/S hose on the C5 was made by my former employer. Do you know the working pressure you're looking for?
Let me know.

Triz your 6 rib can't be that weak! Honestly bro after seeing you go 9's I should honestly just take the simplest approach like you and be happy with it!
I have this major issue with overdoing everything!
Even though I have gone to alot of extremes on this car it's still a 100% full street car. This year I'm going to drive it everyday! I'm even going to drive it to Carlisle this year-So if anyones on this section is heading that way-let's hook up for a weekend of fun!
I'm also going to drive the car to the ECS rental as well, swap tires and let it all hang out!
I have a feeling that this mybe my last year with this car.

My 8 rib ECS kit has been reliable and flawless thus far...other than a bad power steering pump because the belt was over tightened.....

Centri cars are still the fastest, you "big town" T.O. boys still have lots to learn from us "small town" backyard mechanics
Here's my 9.67 run lifting around the 1100 ft mark-not bad for a little 347, patriot cnc heads stock valves, and a $3500 used blower kit. Full weight, no lightweight anything! In hot humid August heat on pump gas and meth.
You guys still gotta catch up! Or at least start listening to the right people

This year my goals are alot simpler, just drive the car! I'm going to Carlisle with it, NJ with it, alot of the Corvette meets, and most importantly drive to the track and run 9's on my 18" drag radials.
Then the car is up for sale and I'm moving on to something else.
