    What should i set my output pressure on my flatline 68/3000psi ?

    The only internal upgrades i have are the z-valve internals and a 32* SS venturi bolt.

    Just wondering because i wanna get the best out of my mag, the trigger pull is light because of the z valve internals but i know i could get it lighter and proboly more concistant than -/+ 5 on a chrono.

    Just wanted to know

      First off, get rid off all those aftermarket valve parts.

      Second, the output pressure on the flatline should be about 800-900psi.

        the z valve can probably stay. but I have some personally issues with anything that says 32 degrees on it (my pt extreme is turning to junk after about 1 case of paint and it started to show sines at about 1/2 a case. want to buy a tank? below 2000 psi in the tank it won't recharge the reg enough to fire a mag properly for about 5 seconds. now can you guess what part I think you should toss??

        however as far as lightening the trigger pull a double trigger wouldn't do any harm(unless you get a lousy one) the only other things you can do to change the trigger pull is the power tube spacer (it makes the pull different not necessarily lighter) the rest are some what ill advised. you can adjust the trigger rod (not such a good idea unless you understand your mag, you could make it stop working all together until you fix it if you screw up) the other thing ppl will tell you about is bolt and sear beveling and polishing (a bad idea at the best of times, and an even worse one if you don't REALLY know your stuff, and have a few extra parts around) even if you get the polishing right it will cause you to have to replace your bolt and sear much sooner, as you just took off all the extra metal your gun was going to hack away at when you shoot. I play with the trigger rod on my mag but NEVER will I polish the bolt and sear. however if you want your mag to go nuts on you and bleed a tank of air and whatever paint you have loaded in full auto then go ahead and polish to your harts content. that's what happened when my sear wore down too much (form age mind you) and it made a nice flat spot on the bolt too. well there went $50 I could have put into paint that day.
        as to the 32 degrees bolt as far as I know the biggest problem is the sub standard metal it made of. the AGD bolts are much harder and will last longer. I'd say keep an eye on it and go with it for now.

        and the flatline should be about 800-900psi as n1mr0d said. but hay play with it until you like the way it feels, and shoots. the 800 psi mark is just a guideline. some ppl like more some less.

        I don't think you are going to get a lot better then +/- 5fps with your mag the best I ever got was 275-281 and I did a lot of work to get that... you could do the same thing but I don't know how consistent the flatline is, I know it recharges fast but consistency I know nothing about.
        I used a 68/3000 Max-Flow pulled the reg pin/spring and reg seat out of the gun and controlled it form the Max-Flow reg. no shootdown at any speed I could hit, and consistent as hell but you need a really good reg to do better then the mag reg. good luck and please don't test a freshly polished sear with paint in the gun.

        one last thing Pleas... Pleas... for the love of peet make the ascii go away. this is paintball not quake.

          ummm...

          well the the bolts been fine for me and yes i have an dye double trigger frame in chrome with a dye double trigger, very very soon to get a blade intellifeed frame wo0pie.

          Tx i thought so but im lazy and thought maybe someone would know the exact psi .

          TX though and i found that the powertube spacer kit doesnt help much but make you take your gun apart and back together about 50 times to see nothing. Stock size is best especially with the z internals no trouble with them eather. =]yes and if i do have any problems ill toss that bolt its only temporary...anyone know if the AGD "no kick" bolt will be out to buy, can i get a foamie with it?

            there is really no exact psi to set your tank for if you don't want to play with it for preference then I'd say 850psi is good
