what ever the input pressure is. The only reason it would be different from the input was if you was runnin a LPR.

so around 180 since thats what you should run with a stock imp ;)

Well, the pressure of the air running into the solenoid is the same as the valve pressure and varies from each setup to the next. Some people run as low as 130 psi and some all the way up to 200 psi. But for the non-lpr impulse, the most used and best range is about 165-185 psi. LPR imps can go down to 105 psi and still work well with a ANS Reg (some go even lower though), but the evil lpr needs a little higher output to be even, so about 135 psi or higher.

As far as what pressure the bolt exertes on the paintball in both air burts and striking force, I have no idea, but they will vary from impulse to impulse. Tom Kaye is the one with all the cool toys for measuring that kind of stuff, but he doesn't let me use them, so i couldn't really tell you.
