ok so im going for around 300psi on this one. so do you think it will work to put 2 150 psi QEV's or will the QEV's not hold the load evenly

no, that is not how it works. you need a three hundred psi valve, not two 150 psi ones.

big difference. there will just be 300 psi on both valves. build a steel piston valve if high psi is what you are going for.

Yeah, if you knew much about physics principles you would know that pressure pushes evenly on all sides of the camber, so even having two valves, you will still have 300 PSI on each valve. stick with 2 QEV's though..... it will make it extremely powerful. Let me see that thing when its done!!!!

QEV's can actually handle 300psi anyway

At least this type can: http://www.technobots.co.uk/contents/media/4034-001.jpg

Thats no guarantee that the QEV types where you are will take that pressure though.
