Jody, 10.40's at 3280 lbs (has been 10.20's before the woes) Probably very similar stresses on the glide as yours. How high did you have to go above 150? my engine is pretty weak compared to most 350 255/294's so id hate to rob any more power than i have to. Ill try to get a 175 psi spring and try that as Adger recommended. Also going to look into the Teflon ring.

Many thanks for the help guys!!
