W.A.S. is the board that Tippmann just switched over to control the E-Grip components. The LPK lowers your operating pressure to Aprox. 350psi. the marker is more consistant, quieter, and uses a little less gas maybe one more hopper fill out of a tank. |

Nah, get the APE board. It's MUCH better. ------------- A-5 w/ APE E-Grip, Polished Internals, 12" Lapco Bigshot, GTA X Chamber, Dead On RVA, Trinity Spring Kit, Smart Parts Inline On/Off, Smart Parts Anti-Siphons |

| The WAS boards come stock in the E-Grip now, so I'd just stick with it. Also, you can do the QEV mod for the Cyclone (search for more info) to make it feed faster. And I wouldn't suggest the LPK. It's a $100 waste of $ IMO. I'd just get a Palmers Stabalizer, and leave it at that. |

Suzuki, what kind of palmers stabilizer? i went to palmers pursuit and it had TONS of different kinds. so the W.A.S comes stock on all egrips now? and how fast does the qev make the cyclone go?
thanks you SOOO much!!

^^I'd get the Male version. Then you just have to screw it right into the Tombstone adapter on your gun. :) And the QEV allows the Cyclone to feed at around 20 bps, inctead of the stock 16. And yes, the WAS is stock on the E-Grips now. But if you buy it from a shop, just make sure the one you get has the WAS, because it could be old invatory. |

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
a couple more question! sorry if im using co2 as of now, can i switch to it in a few months when it gets cold out? so if im just using an egrip with was board and no other boards or chips to make it like real fast should i be okay without getting a qev? |

Don't understand the first ? but you will be ok with the E-Grip without getting the QEV( quick exhaust valve) . Your rate of fire should be capped to 15-17BPS or the cyclone will skip , but that is still plenty fast. If you buy the E-Grip take suzuki's advice and make sure you ask(Demand) that it has the W.A.S. board. |
