I have a PMI Pure Energy 48ci/3000 HPA.
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000B39EZ/002-9385836-072 1608?v=glance&n=3375251#moreAboutThisProduct)

With a full fill I cannot seem to get my fps over 250-260.  I tried a friends tank (same kind) and had the same issue.  The screw was almost all the way out.

When I hooked up CO2 the velocity was higher.  The only post I found had to deal with running a remote & HPA. I am not running a remote however.

Suggestions?
-Tippmann Custom Pro, Flatline Barrel, Supafly Bolt, Cyclone feed.
-Loves the taste of paint!

Try a spring kit first.
