Minimum input pressure for x-valave ult?

[Cool fool!]

hi guys what iz the minimum input pressure for the x-valve? i am wanting more efficiency out of it but i do not wanna starve my gun... please help me. thanks!

Input

Input pressure won't affect your efficiency because the Xvalve regulates it down to around 450ish anyways.

You want to put in at least 650-700 to not starve the valve.

How can my x-valve be more efficient then? you know, get more shots per tank...

Efficiency

Just a couple of ways:

Lvl 10 - Use the largest carrier that doesn't leak, and the smallest spring. This makes it so that it takes less force to push against for the bolt to go forward.

Barrel - Use a barrel with a good paint to bore match, less air sneaking around the ball. Use a barrel with about a 10 inch unported section so there is enough space for the air to expand properly. Too much or too little unported section = inefficency

Unfortunately there isn't many other ways to increase efficiency. And there is a caveat with both of these methods. Using a smaller spring will increase the force the bolt hits the ball in the first stage of the LVL10 so it will be harder on paint. Paint to bore match is only for the control section of the bore, past that the bore is .700(i think) so you get some inefficiency there.

That's all I can think of right now.
