Would it run better on a low or high pressure tank like a Air America Low Or High tank.
Thanks

The Air America LP Screw'n preset has an output pressure of only 350psi, where the operating pressure of the Nerve can be as high as 280psi. That only gives you a difference of 70psi between the tank output and the inline reg input to the marker. That isn't going to make for the fastest possible inline reg recharge rates, and so could lead to shoot down when firing rapidly. You would be better off with the HP output as far as this tank is concerned.

What would be a recomended tank that has HP output that gets at least 800 shots.

The MacDev LegionAir, Crossfire and Centerflags are great quality tanks with high flow rates and quick re-charge times. As such, they are suitable for fast firing, low pressure markers.
A 68/4500 is a good general purpose tank size, which will give a good shot count when charged to 4500psi. You should be able to get over 800 shots per fill if the marker is tuned correctly, even if you can only get the bottle filled to 3000psi. When you can get 4500psi fills, you shot count will obviously be higher.
