It's shooting between 400-430.

i adjusted the level and i took it all the way out and put it all the way back in and its still shooting at 400.

anyone know what the problem is?

check your rear drive spring. is it an aftermarket one, or stock? it may be too strong...other than that, it might be a problem with your valve.

I would suggest a Madman Spring Kit, it will help get the velocity in the right place.

It is not likely that a leak in the hose would cause an increase in velocity. If you are going to buy a spring kit then you might first try cutting the stock spring one loop at a time. Reducing the length of the spring will reduce the velocity. Be conservative, check the velocity after each cutting.
