And now 3 days later it's getting about 360.

Is this right?
Sounds like it has Auto pre cocking to improve your trigger response and I wouldn't worry too much about the spring staying compressed because with the gearbox assembled and spring installed even with the Piston fully forward the spring is always compressed approximately 40%.
As for your FPS issue that may be an air leak in your piston head or cylinder or possibly your hop up as the chrono will be different with the hop up off versus on
