Actually, I just realized something that may explain things. It turns out I may be very, very stupid...
The Superlative Arms adjustable gas block instructions say this:
I opened mine up all the way to max (so 48 clicks), thinking that would give me maximum pressure. But looking at it again, I think I might be an idiot and that is actually maximum bleed off.
If I'm understanding it correctly, 1-17 lower gas pressure by restricting flow. 20-48 lower gas pressure by bleeding off gas. 18 is normal, full flow and what I should have it set at.
Does that make sense? Have I just been using the gas block improperly this whole time?!

20-48: BLEED OFF MODE (RECOMMENDED - UNSUPPRESSED / SUPPRESSED)
