There are plenty of boost safeties in the Holley software if that's what your using. You should have no problem protecting your engine from things like this.

Carnage rules! All the boost safeties and forged goodies are nice, but all that really needs to be done is zip tie every vacuum line that is under pressure. Used to run 30psi all the time and never blew off a vacuum line.

indeed, had a buddy lost a fuel pump middle of a 1000whp pull, holley did all sort of antics to save the motor. yanked timing, commanded all the duty cycle it can, as the fuel pressure dropped, but it did survive the pull

lmao, well yea you're correct about that. I wish I would've slowed down after getting it home and went over everything else again but I was so pumped on making some passes on the street in it that I didn't go back over everything. but yea if I had it all ziptied down I could've still be riding. lol next time I'll know better. lol lesson learned (ZIP TIE EVERYTHING)

Yep, and you can keep stacking safeties on top of safeties.
