first I would say a fast hopper
Then if it's an older BKO upgrade the HPR.... if it's an 04' leave it alone.
then get yourself a nice barrel like a CP or dye ultralight
but truth be told, you probably should have just looked at the upgrade sticky, but i was still glad to help, unlike SOME people around here that like to yell alot.....

Alright, there is a lot of good information about upgrades but I will write it out for you cause I am bored.
You say you want the best, well I'll list some of the best, this is in no particular order.
1. Anti Chop. If you have fast fingers, you will chop. There are currently 3 anti chop products out on the market. The best is PDS. PDS is an eye system(just like Vision...but better). PDS costs 165$ and you have to send your gun into ICD directly. Another anti chop product is produced by www.shootpaint.com This will decrease chopping, it will not stop chopping like PDS. SP mod is proven to be a great product. Check the website for cost. The other is DAM mod, this is similar to the SP Mod, but it is currently having a little problems, but you can still buy it.
2. Barrel. If your gun is pre 2k4, it is ICD threaded. I currently have a 14" Smart Parts Teardrop for sale, cheap! If not other good barrels are produced by Dye, CP, and any barrel kit. If you have a 2k4 BKO, it is cocker threaded.
3. HPR. IMO the best HPR out there is the CP Grip HPR. Other great HPRs are Mac Dev Gladiator and AKA Sidewinder. The price range for these three great HPRs vary from 65$-90$
4. LPR. If you have a pre 2k4 BKO, you will need to get a new ASA. Zenitram produces such a thing. You can buy this ASA at www.tantrumpaintball or www.zenitram-mfg.com You do not have as much options of LPRs if you have a 2k3 BKO, you can find a variety at www.airsoldeir.com If you have a 2k4 BKO you can find many LPRs at www.tantrumpaintball.com The two best LPRs for 2k4 BKOs are the hoseless micro rock and sonic lpr.
5. Valve. The three best valves out there are Mac Dev Red Valve, Vapor Valve, and Zenitram Valve.
6. Volumizer. If you have a pre 2k4 BKO, you can have a volumizer. The three best volumizers are the AKA Mighty Max, Vapor Valve Cap, and the PBK Diamond Volumizer.
7. Board. The best board on the market it the Chaos Board. Just remember, getting a board with a higher cap does not mean you will be able to shoot that fast, a BKO is only mechanically capped at 18bps.
8. Trigger Frame. If you have a 2k2 BKO, you are going to have to get rid of the trigger frame. ICD didnt produce good trigger frames until 2k3. You can get the OTB vert frame which is much like an angel frame, it is 90deg. Zenitram offers a magnetic trigger frame as.
I hope this helps, websites where you can get the upgrades to achieve such a great BKO is...

uhh, i dunno if i have a 04 KO, i think it is but im not sure. its unmilled, exept the back part is cut off like \ , and aroudn teh feed neck its like / \ just not as steep. the LPr is infront of the trigger guard, adn it has a volumizer. the HPr is not the same as my friends, but we ordered around the same time. it kinda goes like this

You have a 3.7BKO or whatever they call it. It came out inbetween the 03 and 04, and has th 04 HPR. I think it comes with cocker threads too, im not too sure.
And I strongly suggest the CP inline reg or a sidewinder. Glads are good too.

CP is great, for $60 it performs very closely with the Gladiator and Sidewinder (which cost $80 and $90, respectively). But the Glad and Sidewinder are known for being two of the best inlines out right now. MACDev, AKA, and Palmer are probly 3 of the top companies for inlines and other airflow-related upgrades. But the CP is the best value.
On a side note, I just put a Shocker Max-Flo Inline on my Bushy, it is really nice. I never thought I would resort to putting an SP product on my gun, but I got this one barely used for $60, it was a deal I just couldn't pass up. (My shop sells them $150 new). I forget my exact chrono numbers, but they were pretty damn good, and I noticed my efficiency also went up. Not bad for a gun that is otherwise bone-stock.

well a guy offered to sell me one for 60 canadian (44 american) so i figure y not
lotus_esprit5
05-31-2004, 07:57 PM
No way I'd pay full price for one, but for $70 or less, hell yeah!

05-31-2004, 08:03 PM
but should i be using the lp reg or do i need the hp one? forgive me i have a b2k3 and am extremly new
lotus_esprit5
05-31-2004, 08:16 PM
Hmm...I really don't know. I'm not sure which one I have. I bought it from the guy who owns the shop I work at. He got it for his Impulse, just to try it out, and then sold it to me. I'll see the guy tomorrow so I'll ask him and let you know.
Advice: The 2 small screws in the side of the inline? Don't screw them in too much. Make sure they are screwed into place, but DON'T force them in. Those 2 screws lock a couple parts in the reg in place. These parts are brass-plated (Don't ask me why) so if you force those screws all the way in they will punch holes through that brass plating and you will be able to see the Stainless Steal underneath. As a precaution, don't adjust the reg unless these screws are screwed part-way out. The reg works great, but just be careful with that. Disassemble the reg and you will see what I mean.

so is the reg (for the forgrip) supposed to be a LP or HP???
JustBunkered
06-01-2004, 03:13 PM
The Reg you hold onto is the HPR. You can find the LPR right below your barrel.
Jordan303
06-01-2004, 03:16 PM
and what would happen if i stuck a low pressure reg where it should be a high pressure reg?
JustBunkered
06-01-2004, 03:18 PM
You couldn't. It'd be impossible.
P.S. check your PM inbox.
Jordan303
06-01-2004, 03:35 PM
no like a in-line lp centerflag hyperflow reg?
JustBunkered
06-01-2004, 03:37 PM
That would work, IDK what kind of consitancy you would get though. If you can, buy a CP Grip HPR.
Jordan303
06-01-2004, 03:42 PM
so its not a good idea?
RainTreeBoy
06-01-2004, 03:45 PM
How much is the Centerflag? If its anything more than like 45, save up the 15 or 20 and get a CP grip.
