So far on my 98c with A.C.T. I have double trigger, cyclone feeder, & 12" Lapco bigshot.  I'm sure I'll be getting the E-grip in the next days, I mainly play woodsball & am curious what everyone thinks I should get next.  I don't have a budget, but don't wanna get too crazy.  Also does anyone know where I can send it to get painted (barrel included).

What would I have to do to install this if anything?

Nothing.  Just buy a high output-pressure screw-in type tank, and you are good to go.

You will also want a tank cover, nipple protector and thread protector, just to protect the tank.

That is a low pressure tank - it won't work for you.  You need high pressure (800 psi output or so).

And brand does matter, at least to some extent.  Crossfire is (IMO) the best screw-in tank out there.  Air America is generally considered decent, but I have no personal experience.

The issue is the on-tank regulator.  A good tank will put out consistent pressure, regardless of ROF.  A bad tank will put out inconsistent pressure, and may not keep up with high ROF.

Be sure and get a high pressure output, as Rambino stated.

Brand isn't terribly important, but personally I would stay away from any Pure Energy or PMI stuff.  Their regulators are cheap.  Crossfire, Mac Dev, Center Flag, Nitro Duck...  there are quite a few reliable brands.  Save your money and get the tank you really want, not just a tank that's cheap.

Go with a Crossfire or NitroDuck 68/4500 HP tank. Get a decent 68ci tank cover along with the nipple and thread protectors as Rambino said.

What kind of paint are you thinking? Since you play woodsball, you should talk to DesertWookie. He does some awesome camo work. There's a sticky at the top of the page.
