Default Wtf is up with my coolant line?

The top coolant line that connects to the head keeps blowing off. The hose clamp is tight, and it only does it when I rev the motor really high, like in a drag race. but it's done it like 5 times now. It blows off of the other end of the hose, hot where it attaches to the head, but where it attaches to the pumper-thingy. Any ideas of how to get it to stay on?

That dont sound good.... Has it gotten hot? It almost sounds like a head gasket leak into the coolant an causing it to blow off. Let us know what you find out.

No, it's not that, because I had those clear coolant lines on it, and the coolant was flowing fine, but it kept blowing off, so I changed it back to the stock ones. Now it's still doing it.

I'd look at that head gasket/oil

Just get rid of the clear hose since they don't seem to hold in place at all. Just go back to stock hose just like I did after I ran the problem you were having. IMO!

Then if no head gasket leak, get a new hose clamp and tighten down on that baby. But I still say there is something else wrong if your hose clamp is tight.
