Hi, I'm new to the board and have been lurking trying to find this info:

I have a new Spyder Compact 2 in 1:
I have added: CP Barrel
External Velocity Adjuster
PMI Pure Energy Reg
Magnaport valve with max flo valve stem
Drilled out my ASA
32 degree spring kit
Modified stock bolt for LP(removed venturi)

I need to know what spring configuration to start out with to go LP. The 32 degrees kit has both valve springs and main springs in soft, medium and stiff, so do I use soft valve spring and a stiff main spring? I know I may have to tweak a bit but where is a good place to start??

Thanks,
Bigtrout

ive heard that both of the springs are supposed to be weak to go low pressure.

hmm not what I heard I heard the bolt spring should be very stiff the stiffest u can find and the valve spring should remain unchanged.... a weaker spring will leave the valve open longer but a weaker spring should only be used if problem persist with velocity cause the valve need to stay open longer and the spring for the striker needs to be stronger to keep the valve open a little longer

well the lighter springs on both ends makes the internals move w/ more ease than hard springs resulting in low pressure. less friction = less pressure.
