When the explosion occurs in the intake runner it is looking for the shortest possible route out, and therefore, the plastic intake runner would come apart long before the spring could do its work. For the spring to work the expanding gasses from the explosion would have to travel clear into the head find the intake valve closed, then travel back to the intake and find a dead end to push against. This is why the blow off panels work because the are directly in the intake runner and can give way instantaniously.
Anyway just an idea. for discussion.

but yes i would say that is a fast car. But would go faster with a wet kit.

That is a great idea! With the velocity of most explosions, I dont know if it would save the intake, kinda doubt it actually, but it certainly could....PS there isnt an intake MADE that is backfire proof...Ive seen cast iron intakes split on old SBCs.
