if u have the money and running n2

but honestly i say no

i say no because it only gives you more shots outta ur nitro, and a lil more consistent. heres what i would do... get a 68/4500 carbon fibber wrapped nitro tank(either crossfire or pure energy i like em best). then you will get about 1,300 shots around. thats really good # of shots and then just get a regulator such as a stabilizer male or a cp or a generator. they all good regulators.  but if you have the money and want more shots and more consistent shot 2 shot. then why not go with the lp kit.

hope this helps and have Fun with it!

  Just get a good hpa tank with a high quality preset regulator. I use an ACI.

  After you do enough mods to your A5, you're going to notice that it is a bit on the heavy side. The lpk works, but it adds alot of bulk and complexity, and it doesn't improve performance all that much.

  For what the lpk and a secondary regulator cost, you can buy a top of the line barrel, and a good drop. These things will do more to improve your speedball game than the lpk will.

For I will wander to and fro,
I'll go where I no one do know,

tippmann is just fine for speedball you just need hte right modifications. New barrel( you dont have to spend 100+ on a barrel a 30 dollar J&J ceramic or smart parts progressive will do just fine a boomstick or something expensive like that will NOT give you anymore accuracy and all barrels have the same range with the exception of the flatline. a 14" barrel vs a 26" barrel there is no difference a 26" barrel will not be anymore accurate than the 26" barrel) get a palmers stabilizer they are awesome, also get a maddman spring kit an e-grip and polish the internals of your gun to eliminate overspray. a good n2 tank will do well also. heres my setup. It is just as accurate than any cocker out there and can compete with guns more than twice the price.

I thought that the palmer stabilzers were made for CO2 only? Did you have to buy upgrade internals for the stabilizer to shoot HPA? Also, does that nitro tank have a preset regulator on it?

palmers will work for both co2 and HPA. The HPA tank i have i believe is either preset to 850psi and i have my palmers at 500psi. The palmers regulator has a 70:1 ratio which is among the best. Palmers pursuit has a great product here and it made a huge difference in my consistancy.

Very much the same setup I'm going for daishi.

Good work.

You should really look into a double trigger though.
A-5
E-Grip
JCS Dual Trigger
DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber
Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted

Optional setup:
R/T
Dead on Blade trigger

Tippmann with an E-Grip or, better yet, the E-Bolt and a Halo B hopper will stay with any Angel or Cocker out there in a speedball course.
