Higher pressure lower velocity?????

I have a Flash with low pressure setup. The gun was shooting fine until I decided to remove the venturi from my stock bolt. After that the gun wouldn't recock. I figured more air was coming out of the bolt and less to recock so I turned up the air pressure on my regulator until it started recocking again. I fired across my chrono and it was only shooting 220 fps. When I turned up the pressure 150-200psi higher the gun started shooting about 180 fps.
Obviosly I'm not an airsmith because I have no idea what is going on here. Can anyone give me an explanation (or theory)of what's happening.
THANKS
