I finally finished my LP project and wanted to post to thank everyone for their
help and let you all know how it went. Here’s recap of my Electra DX setup. 

1.     Spyder drop adapter. 
2.     CP flame Drop forward with CP ASA 
3.     CIP 15* Assault Block VA 
4.     0 to 700 PSI gauge to replace the stock 0 to 1500 PSI one 
5.     MacDev 2004 regulator 
6.     Maddman rocket valve 
7.     Dark Horizon striker with Otter modification 
8.     Spudnuk'l bolt 
9.     32 degrees spring set 
10.     Freak barrel with SS insert kit. 
11.      Check It blade trigger 

At the time of my last post I had just received the valve and was working on 
getting it properly adjusted.  One word of advice to anyone ordering a Rocket 
Valve is order a couple of rebuild kits with it. If you screw the SRP down to 
far you can’t go back and you’ll have to replace the parts. The rebuild kits 
are only $5.00 and give you the security of not having to  worry about going to 
far in search of the best setting. 

You’ve probably figured out by now that I ended up screwing the SRP to far down 
and had to order and wait a couple of weeks for the rebuild kits. 

I started by setting the SRP at 3 or so turns and was amazed that it would 
recock fine right down to about 220 PSI but the gun was way to hot (340FPS+ at 
250 PSI) and different springs had little effect. I started screwing down the 
SRP a little at a time and trying different springs. Each time the results 
would get a little better, unfortunately I ended up screwing the SRP all the 
way down and when you do that the gun starts to have trouble recocking at 
pressures below 300PSI.  With the SRP screwed all the way in I had to set the 
PSI at 320+ to recock okay. With this setting I was much closer to the 280FPS I 
was looking for but I knew I could do much better. 

Got the rebuild kits and started again from scratch. Same results, way to hot 
but very low pressure and no problems recocking. I start screwing down the SRP 
again but still to hot no matter what springs I install. I really wanted to be 
able to run the gun at 260 or 280 or so.  I ended up screwing the SRP down to 
the point where I have to begin increasing pressure up from 220PSI for 
recocking, I then turned the pressure up to about 275PSI and started playing 
with the spring. It was still hot (around 300 FPS) and not very consistent. I 
finally tried an old stock spring that I had clipped about ½ inch off of and 
hit the jackpot. Fired about 10 shots and all in the 273FPS to 283FPS range 
with 5 either 279 or 280 with no breaks. I forgot to mention I had some ball 
break problems at pressures lower then 240PSI. 

Next I take the gun outside and free hand shoot at a tree about 90 feet away. 
10 shots and all within a 6” circle. Gun is quiet and very little kickback. My 
son gives it a try and walks the trigger at a rate of about 8 balls per second 
without any breaks and unbelievable accuracy. I highly recommend the Rocket 
Valve. To give some perspective, with the stock valve and all the mods listed 
above the lowest pressure I could get 280FPS with was 400PSI. With a Turbo 
Valve I could get 280FPS and reliable recocking at 320PSI.  With the Rocket 
Valve I could get reliable recocking at 220PSI and as noted above the issue was 
trying to increase the pressure a little and slow the gun down at the same 
time. 

Next week I may start from scratch using the shorter main springs to see what 
kind of results I can get. If I do, and have any success I’ll come back and 
post here. 

Thanks again to everyone who offered advice.
