Allright Odin this is what I have come up with so far I have only one test left to do and thats the techt tube with factory cyclone internals

I must say I was very suprised by the results basically in a nut shell the techt upgrades definetly make a huge difference. About a 50 psi difference. The slots allowed the feedrod to work at a lower pressure, the techt tube worked as low as 310 psi But the factory tube wasnt able to go below 360. The Techt tube worked 100% of the time at 338 psi. The factory tube needed to be at more than 420 psi and thats with the techt internals. The factory Tube and internals needed to be atleast above 450 psi.

Unforunatly my pressure gauge only went up to 450 psi I'm going to get another gauge so i can get higher psi readings so i can test the techt tube w/ all factory internals.

If i missed anything or if i did anything wrong let me know and i'll correct redo the test again

Oh and all reading were taken off of a 2 inch gauge attached to my palmer regulator at the tombstone w/ remote line and i took a 1 min. break between shots to make sure i didnt freeze my gun up at all

well, pressure and energy are not exactly the same thing. its feasible that a lower pressure can still be more energy.

LOL well sure "go and cloud the issue with facts and physics" anybody can do that. jk lmao

Is there anything different you would do to test this problem?
Im open to any ideas.

I did another test getting the gun as close to the original velocity but with the Cyclone functioning, got some numbers, then disengaged it. Check the original link.

Navycut, that's really cool. If anything, I would have thought it be reversed. You should share that info with the A5OG and X7OG as well. They love seeing stuff like that, too.

I will post it up there for them. The one thing i was surprised with was how much more psi the stock cyclone needed to turn the cyclone opposed to the fully upgraded TechT one. I think it has more to do with the reduced spring tension inside the ratchet. That the next thing im going to test I think the internal little spring inside the ratchet has alot to do with what pressure the cyclone cycles as well
