Hey Tyson, just a thought.....I noticed in the vid that the water pressure was spiking on the inside engine in a turn. I like to run a 1 1/4" hose from the port to the starboard strainer to stop the pressure spikes. It really works well and stops all the needle jumping and high pressure spikes not only when turning, but if one pickup hits the water and the other is out of the water. Looks great. Very nice work.

We did exactly what Eddie mentioned connecting both strainers and taped 4 water dumps with 10# waste gates to it going directly outside and have not run into water pressure issues since.
We also use braided lines from the pickups to the strainers as the pressures there are still up at higher speeds this being before the waste-gates... (also cause we burst some hoses last year a couple times!)

GL couldn't you put a dump before the strainer as well to keep that area's water preasure down?

Space is restricted from pick up to the strainers and the strainers can take the 40-60# the upper speed generate. I would not risk engines and chillers with those pressures for any length of time in my very humble opinion.
