Anyone else think this dude drilled a hole bigger than 1/16"?

Quite a lot.
So he just drilled a hole and started it up, video it, and all that came out without a hydro lock incident previous to drilling a hole?
Looks staged.
Pretty easy to pour some water into the CAC and fire up that demonstration.

Agreed. Seems very unlikely. I'm guessing that much would fill 1-2" of the CAC. Since the outlet was on the bottom it would drain even without the engine running or would hydrolock. Because there aunt no way that much water is sitting on the fins......

I wouldn't say it was much more than say 4 or 5 oz's. Plus in Fords testing it took 6+ oz's to create a shudder situation.
Just my opinion

Come on, that was way more than 4-5 oz. That was like a pint of water coming out.
That engine should be done. Even if they poured it in for a fake, reving it up like that should have hydolocked it on video.
Maybe this is Ford's way of keeping the valves clean.

I don't see that as being close to a pint.
In fact, running the numbers with this guy: http://www.tlv.com/global/TI/calcula...h-orifice.html, and giving it a generous 10 seconds of flow, and maximum pressure differential, it would be about 1/2 a pint. I think the 4-5 oz is a pretty solid number.
Remember, the engine only snarfs the water under the most extreme circumstances, WOT, underload, in second gear.

To me the stream doesn't look much larger than a typical fridge water dispensor. And the truck pressure is not anywhere near what a typical water line is putting out for pressure. So by that I figured the 4-5 oz ballpark measurement. Also that spray out near the end when he has the engine reving, is not much water, just more pressure fanning the water particles out.

Papa Tiger used to annoy me but now I just find him funny. Like the pesky little brother that won't go away. Tiger, we get it. You sell a catch can. Please stop posting.

Everyone forget a squirt gun ? Obvious; Do what you want; I did. I simply do not care what you do. A motor will misfire with a simple teaspoon of water entering the intake manifold. The amount blown out that hole could have hydro locked the motor. Hopefully no one would be so dumb as to inject 3 to 6 oz. of water into the CAC for a demo like this.

Did anyone calculate the volume of water required to make the huge puddle on the ground that you get a glimpse of at the end of the video?
More than 4 - 5 ounces.
Shenanigans!
