Bob, I don't think you should feel a difference in the foot valve when the tanks air pressure is 100 vs 120.
You will feel a difference in the foot valve with (1.5" vs .05") travel in your slack adjusters though.
You may have glazed over pads from dragging if they are so cold blooded.
I feel little difference in my brakes cold vs hot. My 270 is lighter and has less torque than your 320 expecially if you have your low idle set up a bit...

Anything is possible which is why I posted this.

If your brakes work the same hot or cold then that helps me. 

No difference between 100 and 120.

85 yes.

most parts in our 97 need reworking.  Ridden hard and put away wet. 

Only because of the mid door......

Not easily replaceable.

I am extremely sensitive although.  Most would say no difference between cold and hot effects but after using stuff to its limit for 50 years I am paranoid. 

Using the retarder no difference is noticeable. Turning it off is what I notice....

Yours works the same hot or cold without the retarder on?
