I've seen systems grossly overcharged (my SDL was way overcharged from not paying attention once) running head pressures up to 400PSI and tripping the overpressure switch and they came around just fine once the charge was corrected. If you didn't blow any seals or hoses, you're probably fine.
I still say you're just grossly overcharged.

I hope so. Wont know for about a week, but no reason to rush. In the end I will need to know what the proper charge is. So I will have a nice cylinder and scale I can properly weigh with. But I did find the monovalve leakage to have a significant hit on the performance 8° on my stock 560SL is pretty significant. That was one of the last genuine Mercedes monovalves available at the time.
Thanks again touch base in a week or so.
