What are the most aggressive GF-Hi values you have used?
 
I have no idea. All those comnputers (DiveRite, Seiko, etc) that used Buhlman but never told you what they were doing could have been damn near anything.
 
90 on CCR. 80-85 on OC depending on the dive.
 
Probably 5000 dives on ~90 , maybe more. Whatever Orca used on EDGEs, Skinny Dippers and Marathons. Probably get a Shearwater one day just to see.
 
20+ years ago several prominent tech divers in Germany were diving a GFhigh of 150. I tried it too for less than a year, It worked but I was extremely tired after such dives. Dropped my GFhigh down to 125 and that worked well until about 2008. Similar problems then and I dropped my GFhigh down to 100.
6 or 7 years later I was having issues with a GFhigh of 100 on multiday trips involving 2 Trimix dives a day after 4+ days.
Now I'm older, use a GFhigh of 85, and take a 1/2 day break after 3 and a half days of doing 2 trimix dives a day.
It works for me, cannot say that it would work for you and if you get badly bent, it'll be your own fault.

I only do no stop and light deco. I dive 80/95 alongside a computer running DSAT.

I am just doing recreational dives so I am set at 45/95 on my Perdix which I dive on using OC Tec mode. If I am doing nitrox or deco dives I would still be on the same setting.
