      interesting so many people have it so high perhaps this is part of the problem with mags breaking paint. I had a preset at 800 and i had problems with chopping so i actually went through the trouble of taking the preset apart and adjusting it down to 700, had to lock it back together with a pci card screw. after that i had less problems with breaking paint. now I use an adjustable dynaflow or flatline 4500

          No problems with breaking paint at 850 in. My consistency sucks, but I suspect other issues (Have same problem with it when running off max-flo)

            Used to run a preset @ 850 psi. Now have an adjustable set at 1100 psi. :)

              I used Carl's (smokee_2_7) Retro valve in both his (godly) Z-grip and his (also godly :)) automag with an eclipse kit. It was set around 1000, but because the regulator on his flatline needed servicing, it was around 900. All I can say is WOW!!! I love that feeling of that trigger bouncing back. I know most of you believe skill is more a part of the game than the gun ... but i found running that Retromag with nitro I got anywhere from 1-3 eliminations a game. Most of the time getting 1 or 2. With my spyder running on co2 I'm LUCKY to get 2. But that's a different story altogether :)

              On his z-gripped mag ... I forgot to turn the revvy on and I chopped around 3 or 4 times (early in the game too). I don't think it had anything to do with the input pressure though, cause with the other mag I didn't chop any.

                  Ulitmator,

                  Glad ya liked it. . . im sure you cant wait till you have your own.

                  Yeah, so far im pretty happy with it around 900 or so. Mainly Since this Retro valve is brand new to me, i cant comment on consistency too much. However, from limited testing, paint always seems to go into the exactly same place--- so im happy.

                    I run mine at 600 in my Emag. It is very reactive in hybrid, but is like no kickback what-so-ever in manual. Oh well, I dont use manual anyways! Would I get better gas mileage off a higher pressure?
