Cobb,

You asked him the wrong question..  You really need to ask him if he knows
what a gradient factor is before you can get into adjusting it..

The only thing he knows about deco curves and gradient factors is that he
puts 40% in his pony for use as a bailout when he does his bad ass 140'
wreck dives....
