: I've read about people using mixed combos with this valve. I thought you were suposed to use the lightests springs, no? Why should you mix the springs? Did the spring combo method come to discovery recently, or was it always suposed to be like that. What happens if you don't use that exact combo? What do you loose/gain?

: Thanks for any! :)

Usually you start with the lightest main spring, and one range heavier valve spring. Then you sweetspot the reg. If your velocity is too hot with the IVG flush, put a heavier valve spring in. If it is much more than about 50 FPS below field legal, try a lighter valve spring. If it is in that range, tweak the reg for best consistancy, and use the IVG to adjust the velocity. This will get you to the highest efficiency you can get (with a little trade off for better consistancy.) It will also get you a bit lower than stock operating pressure. I do not agree with AKAs idea of using the inline to adjust the velocity.
