yeah it's for real, but if your just a weekend runner and you aren't in the 11's i doubt they're gonna tech you that closely, If you were in any type of competition tho, that's a requirement

If at all possible it would be best to have it mounted on the engine somewhere, then the engine torqueing side to side won't have any possibility of turning loose the AN fittings on the FPR (or worse yet, tearing things apart if your hoses are not long enough to take up the slack)
even if the hoses are long enough initially, as the motor mounts wear you may not notice the movement increasing and that just sounds too risky to me.

SS line do flex. & will have no prob moving w/the engine. You shouldn't have any probs w/ the an fittings becoming loose. If you do, then you may not have them torqued right or not enough slack in the line, etc.
As for keeping the motor put. Just say ontop on the car. Check **** out periodically. (maintenance) also fabbing some straps and a torque brace are a plus.

I mounted mine on the fire wall. I don't plane on becoming hard core in drag racing. They will let you run and not even look under the hood. I guess it all depends on how fast you are. Just think about open track. I have seen some of the biggest POS's out there. I wouldn't even park some of those things to close to my house.

How would you do it? Please don't tell me the black boots. (like a small hose with a top) cuz they are for vac only and will not hold. I have never found anything that will hold as much press. as a bolt threaded into the end of a hose and clamped. If you know a better way, I want to know.
