just need a tank. your expansion chamber will restrict airflow, it would be better to take it off.

get a high output (800psi) tank. Your money depends on the tank you get. Ideally in my opinion is a 68ci/4500psi high output fiber wrapped tank. but because they're about 200 bucks, they may not be for everyone. A 68/3000 steel tank would be quite cheaper and still get a decent amount of shots.

this page should answer any question you could ever have about air.

on 3000psi tanks, multipy 10 by the number of cubic inches for rough shot count. on 4500psi tanks multiply by 15, and on 5000psi tanks multiply by 20

Just get a High Pressure output tank and you're good to go. And look on www.ebay.com, you can find some killer deals on tanks.
