Default Procharger worm clamp issues

Hi everyone I have a 06 Mustang GT which is Procharged running roughly 16 pounds of boost. I am constantly having issues with my pipes popping off during full throttle and wanted to see if anyone else was having this issue, if so have you upgraded your clamps? What class are you currently running?

If the Clamps are not keeping the Hoses on first off with the Diesels in my big truck we were running 45 pounds of boost and we used these for clamps.

another option requires some welding of screw studs to opposing pipes beyond where the couplers clamp on, then using a flat steel with drilled holes for the studs and then a nut on the studs, this keeps the pipes from spreading apart enough for the coupling to become completely ineffective. another thing some do is weld a bead at teh end of the pipes and then when screwing down the coupling the band is just past the raised portion of the bead keeping it from spreading. Or if you are absolutely sick and tired of it have someone weld on v-band ends to each end of the pipes and use a v-band on it.
