Its a coolant steam distribution block...each of the stainless hoses goes to a corner of the heads. It prevents air bubbles and associated hot spots. I think having this really helps the back cylinders live...everyone says its a fuel issue is why 7 and 8 go so much, but its actually a coolant issue with the block design. Every little bit helps, and having them blocked off is about the worst thing you can do.

I just found this thread today and read the whole thing. I am amazed at what you set out to do and accomplished. Lots of hard work and dedication there.
Congrats on a job well done

Thanks man! Its been a long road haha
I wanted to test the meth shut off theory, but I think my backfire issues have been too conservative DFCO settings...also wanted to see if I made a huge mistake putting the nozzles behind the the BOVs.
This is a spare m15 nozzle I have using the test button on the controller. It stops pretty much instantly when I let off the button, and considering the solenoid would be hooked up to my hobbs switch, which would have a delay from when pressure starts to drop in the manifold, I dont think adding a solenoid would benefit me at all.

Uhu...it looks like it works a lot better being further back, especially for temps. I saw basically no rise in temps in a 70 to 120 run. But now I am having an issue of it breaking up at high rpm/high boost...need to pull the plugs and take a look.
Also...I strap my toolbox to the back wall of the bed with a ratchet strap, and my toolbox weighs about 70lbs. Well I took off hard from a stop and hear a thump, but didnt really think anything of it. When I get back home, I see my toolbox and tools in the back and see this...
It dented the tailgate enough so that when I opened it it popped off the hinges and I had to beat it with a block of wood and a sledge hammer to straighten it out enough to get it back on
