I am using the HLx5 90/14 needles and King Tut thread!
Slowed it down.

How did you get King Tut thread through a size 14 needle? I have a size 16 on my quilter now and can't get King Tut through it. Definitely try a larger eye needle, loosen the top tension, and you might use fewer holes on the pre-tension bar. It might take a combination of several things to get the results you're looking for. If you're breaking King Tut thread, though, I would definitely be looking at needle size & tension first.
