Burst panel for sheet metal intake

[LCP Motorsports]

Looking to put a burst panel on intake and wondering if the location where it is mounted will make a difference? Top Bottom Sides Back ? Not on the front as the fuel regulator and distributor are there. This is for a 500 inch drce2 motor.
Thanks

Good morning Chester. In these current times of uncertainty, on the light side maybe a little LOL. Tire on the left, tire on the right, and driver on the backside . On a serious note, can't say i have heard of this. I'm guessing maybe you have a sizeable Nitrous system ? Has this been done before, seems like a great idea to protect valuable parts. Mark H.

When asked if a particular placement of the burst plate assembly is required Dave responded, “The burst panel is normally placed in a position where it equally covers the runners of the manifold, to help displace the pressure as evenly as possible. This helps prevent any particular portion of the manifold from taking the brunt of the explosion.”
