i recently just got a 2k4 impulse and i went to shoot it and it shot fine until i looked and saw how much nitro it used in two hoppers!! It was filled up to 3000 psi and now its just above 1000 psi in two hoppers. Please help me out on this one... Do i need to make any adjustments?

what is your setup/internals, and what pressure are u runing at, and what is your dwell?

go to a chrono and see if u can turn ur dwell down and your pressure up. But remember never to get close to 200. around 180 is nice. research some cheaper parts u can buy for it and they help with efficiency alot. lower dwell=better efficiency, so to do that u have to do higher input pressure.

o and New Designz parts are the best most of the time. look into getting a rip valve, about $30 online and they help alot with efficiency.

and if he is uses a 48 cu inch tank that might explain it also. because they don't get a lot of shots per fill anyway

Well i only shot like 300 shots with a full tank, and then it became empty... so i don't think it could be that big of a hog to do that.
