Default Compresion releases

Baring the electronic compression releases from S&S, does anyone know about a compression release that has a stronger resistance so that they wont pop as/ while your cranking the motor over.
The problem I am having is..... The damn things always pop open during cranking. (I have a 1.8KW Spike starter with a 130 CCA battery) I hold one of them open during cranking, and would hold both open if I could, but my fingers aren't long enough. When the compression release opens during cranking it over, it causes the engine to kick back, and that eats up starter drive clutches. I am tearing it down to install my third extra heavy duty drive clutch in 9 months.
I remember seeing a web site that had a compression release that they claimed was for big bore high compression strokers, but cant remember the site.

Can anyone think of the company?
