If I require more flow to the valves, I can drill any combo of holes I want.

In high speed damping, I believe they were packing, or basically locking up as they couldn't flow enough as they moved so much on every strike. Now they stay up higher and I haven't had them stutter yet, but again, the road temps are only up to 50f at best right now so I'm not slamming the corners where I had this issue quite as hard.

Jim,
Politely and with respect- The difference in damping quality at different speeds serves to support the original suggestion that you have paid $170 dollars for an effect you could have achieved with $5 of higher viscosity fork oil or a smaller air gap. The whole point of the valve emulator is to allow optimal flow at BOTH slow and fast speeds. How much damping is the job of oil viscosity.
