Itll run, dont get me wrong. I can understand that you want compression thats cool. Two points aint gonna do much but Im sure you know that, anyway if you are gonna run some compression on it atleast call and speak with Brian and see what he can come up with that uses a floater and a better rod.

Good luck.
