Default How "feed dependent" are the 451 blowers?

Just got my new to me 451 mounted up to the 1864 yesterday (sorry, no pics yet) and had to find some snow to try it out. I was...less than impressed. I've got good belt tension, things are tight and spinning free but the snow just doesn't blow. There were times where I'd get a decent pile in front of me it'd go maybe 10 feet but most of the time it would just get past the edge of the blower. I've got a good amount of experience with the QA42A blower and know that those QA's are feed dependent on how far they throw, but I kind of expected these 2 stage units to be a little less picky. Thoughts anyone?
