Nothing. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to mess with it.

a lighter hammer will increase your cycle rate, there are a ton of bolts that do practically nothing for your marker, all types of stuff. The question to ask yourself is, "what do I want my marker to do?"

Once you figure that out, it's a logical progression.

Internals

Rufus Dawg Front Bolt,

Dead On Paintball Aluminum Powertube (and mod it to fit the Rufus Dawg Front bolt),

Dark Horizons Titanium Rear Hammer.

Have you polished the internals?  If not DO IT!
______________
Cyclone Feed

You could pre-order the Lightening Rod for your Vortex Mod (it ships Dec 1st).

Do you have larger hoses for your cyclone feed or your RT? If not you could get 1/8 inch hoses for them.

Do you have a QEV for your Cyclone Feed? I'd say get that for sure!

Oh well that is too bad cause you should have gotten a 98 Custom.  Lol, just kidding.

For shooting far...
I say get a good barrel (J&J Ceramic, Dye Ultralite etc)

Then buy the apex barrel,

Take off the tip of the apex and put it onto your better barrel using the "UMS Apex Adapter".

For shooting straight that has to do with paint to bore match and the barrel you have - and also refer to the internals I mentioned.

For shooting Fast, refer to the Cyclone mods I told you to get, and you can either upgrade your RT to Super RT with the bigger hoses or get an e-grip with APE board.

Pfft, no he doesn't   (just kidding)

However, I find polishing the internals does help, if you want your gun to go the extra mile.  Here, you may feel more comforatbale about it, just take a look:  http://model98.org/mods/polishingint.php

Make sure you take a look at the whole thing, as there are a couple different methods on how to do it based on what tools you have.  Its really hard to mess up, just use common sense as when to stop, etc. 

Also, most people find that the Rufus Dawg Wicked bolt is the most effective of the aftermarket bolts avalible today.  Look into the Dark Horizons A5 titanium hammer, as stated above.  Link: http://www.darkhorizoncorp.com/products.asp

For your cyclone, once again as people have said above, look into the Vortex Mod for the cyclone, as well as the Lightning Rod, both are made by the same company.  One of the most useful upgrades is the QEV, too.

The point of polishing the internals (for me) is that the factory internal finish is usually lousy; paint overspray, very rough casting on my A5 and one 98c. 
Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here.

I have the shocktech bolt with internal o-ring.  It is not better than the wicked bolt. (which I also have).
