i talked to **** who got one around the same time i didi and he said his friend cut about 1 and a half coils off the spring and it lowered down to like 4 psi. throw a boost controller on it and its perfect.

it wasn't a friend, tho i wouldnt necessarily not call him that, it was your friendly neighborhood HMT admin on his ZC.

Cut 1 coil you might be better off.
