I guess no one know anything about the tornado valve or doesn't want to admit it.

325 to 350psi with the dwell set at 18. I am going to play around it more.

Hi,

Just put one in today. Without changing anything else my FPS went from low 280's to High 320's. So it was a pretty decent increase in velocity. I had never had any probs with the stock valve but I had 40k on the counter and thought, what the heck? so I bought one. I have one in one of my cockers and love it. They are expensive but I think worth the money. I havent had an oppoturnity to test the shot count yet but I bet I will get more shots. I was able to lower the dwell from 14 to 12 and still get the same consistancy as before as well as lower my input pressure a fair ammount. Dont know the exact pressure as I dont have a gauge but felt like a bunch when i was turning down the reg.

Anywho, I give the valve 2 thumbs up.

We never saw a change in performance with any aftermarket valves.

The best thing you can do to make your gun perform like it should is keep it cleaned, follow the recommended service procedures, use a good air system, and have a good barrel to paint match.
