well i have been searching fora while about how to really lower my pressure and be able to pinch balls and possibly have the bolt bounce.

well this is what i am getting for my b2k-

red valve
mac dev glad
sonic lpr
shocktech supa fly bolt

these are upgrades ive decided to get so i can get LP, because that is what i am after.

well i am sure that will lower my pressure a lot with that setup, higher flow= LP
but now how do i get pinches and having my bolt bounce? will polishing the ram help, and taking the ram spring out? what will these things do for me?
anything anyone else suggests for me to do to achieve these results.

thanks for any help!

just get the shootpaint mod done to the ram. then it will never chop. and be a lot cheaper too.

alright well i was thinking about that, but that would come last, i was just wondering if there was any other way to pinch and lower my pressure.
any tips or tricks are welcome

change ur valve spring to a spyder valve or autococker spring that is light. Itll lower ur pressure alot and u maybne able to have it bounce

If you have the 03 sonic LPR then you should have your pressure set to around 60PSI...Thats pretty low already....Ive had it down to 45 PSI though without changing any springs...

alright thanks i will try those things and see what happens.
i will probably take out the ram spring and get differnet valve springs and just play around with that.
thanks again

Buy the Macdev LPR gauge tool and turn down your LPR like Raptor says. I go to 65 without any bolt cycling problems on the stock valve spring and with the ram spring in. (I think Matrixes usually run at 70 or so)

I don't really have a problem with chops, even without an eye or the SP mod. (Halo & low pressure still a good combo :) )

Oh, I'm not sure the Glad is still the best reg, although they still are the favorite of many people. In my opinion, they need much more cleaning to avoid creeping. If you do get one, I would recommend keeping a rebuild kit on hand so that you have an extra seat.

Why don't you just spend $125 and get PDS? Then you won't have to worry about chopping.
