    What is your finger ratio? With .125's maybe 88-94 grams with .156's 76- 82 grams if you are really making some power.

    my levers are .125's This is a fresh clutch set up and I havent run these levers before.
    I used to use .156 levers and around 100g total weight, but my floaters were too thin and I had problems with warping. so I have put in this fresh clutch and thats why Im looking for a new base line. Dont want to fry it on the first pass (tomorrow)
    would it be too extreme to put on 120g ??
    Thanks.
