I'm an idiot; should've asked you what's the highest FPS you managed with green gas/propane for an MEU setup (and what aftermarket parts you used)!

Ah I see. Well, I'll rather not mess with the valve then...it could be due to flexing as you described since it's much more easier to bend the floating valve after cutting off 2 prongs. I guess I'll need to spend some money on getting the Action floating valve for highest FPS.
