Lpk dosent improve Air effincy, it loses air e.

But a reg, polished internals, and a barrel with little porting will do the trick.

You're wrong.  The LP Kit, combined with LP-HPA, a good LP reg, polished internals, a good 14in. and under barrel with minimal porting, and a great paint to barrel match will help with all of your efficiency woes.

Well the obvious is to clean your gun and have good O-rings. Also regualators and I believe that X-chambers help too.
