Re: Wanting to expand rib
Gut bomb will help a lot. I would also use some regular beat pulp. That will expand the lower gut. The only shot to fix directly behind blade is junction or game. lowering the protein will cause you to loose a little shape, but it will give you a better chance of successfully blending your pig.

Re: Keeping Pig full while holding
When it expands it turns into a powder. Causes it to loose its value. It will not provide the mass or take up enough space for it to truly affect the lower gut.
