Good luck getting these kind of answers Jeff. I have asked this a few times. Put it in and try it.

Nick, did you measure your installed height on your setup, and you used Pat spring seats, retainers, and which stock or the super7 lock? The variances you found were roughly about 6# difference in seat pressures.
