Current setup: Tippmann A5 - Response Trigger - J&J Ceramic 14" - PE 68ci/4500psi Tank w/DYE Cover Planning to add a Palmer Stabilizer next... Followed by the LPK... On some other forums, I've read some people had issues running the LPK with the RT on the A5... Due to feeding to cyclone as well... They also mentioned, tippmann corrected the issue on the X7? Any input would be appreciated :) |

Your response trigger will not work with the low pressure kit. The cyclone will work then not work, then work again |

Wouldnt necessarily get a stab either with the A-5, especially with the RT. Both the RT and Cyclone run off of excess gas, so technically, you want the marker to be inefficient with air/CO2. What Tinman says about the LPK is true as well. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Yes and no. If you try to use the LPK to play the old "how low can you go" game with your operating pressure, then yes you will have problems. If you do the opposite, however, you get kickass results. My A-5 has LPK and RT. I have the Stab set at 500+, and the RT just rips. It's basically like cranking 1000psi through a regular A-5. Loads of extra pressure to run the ancillaries. So I recommend the LPK with the RT, but only if you are willing to run at not-so-low pressure. ------------- Waste and excess are not conservative family values http://www.nytimes.com/ref/opinion/07opclassic.html - Nature is not a liberal plot http://pickensplan.com - A Good Energy Plan |

Bruce, What's that do to your efficiency? -------------

I haven't noticed any particular decrease. I'm sure I lose some, but I still get same 800-1000 shots per 68/45 fill as I did before. It certainly hasn't been a problem. My biggest complaint about the LPK is the loss of a foregrip. The Stab with gauge is not comfortable to hold. That, and the gun got a lot quieter, so it doesn't scare the rookies as much anymore. ------------- Waste and excess are not conservative family values http://www.nytimes.com/ref/opinion/07opclassic.html - Nature is not a liberal plot http://pickensplan.com - A Good Energy Plan |

One more reason not to do it. But on a serious side and not to be antagonistic, but what is the point of adding the LPK and Stab other than keeping Tippmann and Palmers in the black? If there is no noticeable improvement, $200 is a lot to spend simply to quiet the marker down. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |
