Pi E-2 Black Dragon Upgrade Questions

[abracadabra1]

I recently purchased a Black Dragon E-2 straight from Pi. The gun is gorgeous, the trigger is great, and it shoots very fast. I think it's quite loud though; too loud for my tastes.

Nevertheless, I'm sticking with the gun and am wondering what upgrades I should look to getting. I'm pressed for money so I don't really want to invest in anything that won't give me a significant or at least noticeable performance increase.

These are the upgrades I'm looking to get:
- Turbo Valve (any turbo valve ~$25): Should I be looking to get a more expensive valve like the AKA tornado valve?
- Delrin bolt ~ $25 (high flowing, like the one made by tarantula): Should I be looking to get an AKA Lightning bolt instead?
- ANS GenX Regulator ~$80 (cheaper reg instead perhaps?) Suggestions?
- Macroline upgrade
- 32 degrees Shark drop forward
- Freak barrel kit ~$180 (another switchable insert barrel instead?)

Thx for the help and advice fellas.

Any questions about the E2 feel free to ask.

Definately a new barrel. Maybe not a freak, but something good like a CP , truflight, bigshot, excel, all american, etc

I already have a 12" Dye Excel. It's ok, but I don't think it fits my field's paint well (viper venom). It hasn't broken any paint amazingly though.

And the Dye Barrel didn't make the gun any quieter either. Freak be any better?

thx

What about the other upgrades I listed?

I wouldn't get a Freak kit, the inserts are aluminium and tend to warp and bend really easy. Check out www.equationusa.com . They are a lot better, the inserts are stainless steel so they won't warp or bend. Plus they have adapters for most guns(not sure what the BD takes) and several different muzzle choices. I'd at least check it out.:drop:

black draguns take spyder barrels.

What about the other upgrades mentioned?

thx again

Where would the ANS regulator attach?

Does that attach at the portion where my tank connects to my gun, or is that part of the vertical adapter?

Thx
