Bigger barb would help, but then you'd need an adapter fitting or a bigger barb welded on the other end as well.......

aaaaaaaaaaan I don't thing the worm gears can support a bazillion pounds of torque... I think they'd strip

I bazillion is a very technical term that you can use when drunk. And I waited till I was done working on the car before I started drinking thank you.

I think a very small bead would help, but I don't know if its worth the hassle right now. I will do it if I take it off to get it power coated.

At work we double bead all of the CAC and water pipes to prevent blow offs. Helps out quite a bit when the CAC pipes see 50 psi and the water side is flowing a 100 gal/min.

We don't use worm drive clamps. They take too long to install and don't expand and contract with temperature changes. The fittings have a bead (2-2.5mm lip). The clamps can barley pass the barb when the hose is installed. If I do put on bead that's what I will go for. But I am not in a huge hurry right now.

I fully consider a shit ton to be an engineering unit.

Yep. That will take a shit load of force. I ordered a shit ton of parts. I spent a shit ton on tooling.
