    Here are a few more tests, just to show what I'm seeing and where the project is at testing wise, I don't think its a final design.

    My camera batteries were low so I wasn't picky on the video I kept, they died after the last test so this is it for now.

    Retro Valve with 0.74" on/off pin>


    Retro Valve #2 with 0.75" on/off pin. 40 psi to OLTR. Full RT effect, I cuffed a few times but didn't have the camera batter to re shoot.


    Retro Valve #2 0.75" on/off pin about 43-44 psi boarder line full RT which my lazy finger like.

      As much as I would love to see whats going on I would advise Luke not to post pictures of the internals. Atleast until they are selling. Which then at some point a buyer is gonna take one apart and show everyone.

      The reason is simple. There are people like me out there that can reverse engineer from a picture to a very good degree. Now unlike myself some will not have the decency to not reverse engineer it. I know lukes put alot of time into this and I would hate to see anyones design copied. Having your design copied is NOT flattering its a violation.

      Fyi for anyone: Never post a straight picture/rendering of your design. Especially before you make it. Always have it skewed. Wont stop someone but makes it alot more difficult.

        Agreed 100%, me too.

        However the internals are not a huge secret nothing magical there. The big deal is the attitude of the guy demanding to see then throwing a temper tantrum when he didn't get his way. I don't feel I'm under any obligation to share anything I don't want to. Actually the post was no big surprise, if anything I got a little laugh out of it. :)

          TBH I really haven't tried to dial these in real tight, I was more concerned about basic function over ridge fine tuning. I did do some more tests after you ask about it and was able to remove a bunch to travel with the lower set screw, actually the screw wasn't long enough, I could have taken more out.

          I'll spend more time on that as I start to dial these in.

            I haven't read through the whole thread yet so forgive me if I've missed something... But PLEASE ADD ME TO THE LIST! :)

            Assuming this will fit an Intelliframe at some point I'm in! Put me down for 1 please.

            *EDIT* Ok. Now I've read the whole thread... No change to my preliminary sentiment. */EDIT*

                I like that trigger the best of your 3 options.

                When do you get time to restore old vehicles ?

                        It's a huge challenge making time for anything personal that's shop related! I've been trying to keep weekends open for the truck build but it's hit or miss and general only a few hours of work at a time...

                          Here's a Classic valve test. The on/off seems a little slow, I tend to cuff it some but I can't really walk a trigger anyway. It works on the same settings as the other valves.

                          Thanks goes out to Scott for donating the valve to test!

                            I regret selling my gforce mag, I regret selling the cheater. I'll regret selling this someday too

                              I don't have a ton of pneumag experience so this might be a stupid question.
                              In the vid clip where you have the LPR set at 44 psi, are you also using a SHP tank or standard output?
                              If you are standard tank this is a no brainier for me, I hate having to have three separate tank for different output pressures.
                              I like having the novelty of going full rt once in awhile but typically play with a normal pressure.
                              I could sell my SHP tank and this would almost save me money (rationalizing)
