I just got the gun and I have been told that it is supposed to function on 100 to 300 psi. At the moment it is running at about 230 psi. Is there a better operating pressure for me to use or is that about as good as it gets? Also what upgrade should i get first? I am using a Revy X-board and a PMI 45ci tank.

A good operating pressure is 200psi-225-psi.

I would definitely get a new hopper. A Halo B is as good as it gets, I would look into one of those.

What size is your nitro tank, 45ci... (what psi?)

Also, what year is your B2K4?

Actually he said he has a PMI tank. But as long as that doesnt leak it should be fine. And if its a 45\45 great, don't replace it. Get a new hopper first defintely considering bushys can be made to be very effciant but with an aggy can deffintely chop.

to set your best operating pressure unscrew your LPR almost all the way out. Screw in your tank and then slowly screw your LPR in til the bolt cocks back, then give the LPR 1 more quarter turn. This will ensure no shootdown should happen and put you at about 90psi operating pressure which is just about right for a bushy. After that adjust your Inline reg to get your proper FPS. For first upgrade if you dont have PDS i would look at a new hopper, most likely a Halo B (rip drive is a plus but not needed). After that I would into a new valve or a new inline reg if you are using the stock still.

^ thats pretty much it.

New hopper definately. After that you should get a new barrel if your stock one is a POS. Stock barrel quality can vary alot with ICD, so if yours is fine don't worry about it. Then inline and/or valve. Supposedly you need a new inline to get the best out of an aftermarket valve. So I would recommend getting an inline first, since you'll need that anyway, then the valve. This stuff should keep you busy for awhile.
