I posted this on PBN, ill post here too just in case, it helped me out:
UPDATE: i think i have some useful information for you people that have correct settings, and still have FSDO or shoot down, its kinda common sense, and some people are all ready doing it, but heres what i did.
My settings were lpr-45psi, Dwell-9, inline-whatever to shoot 290fps.
I set my gun up with these settings and had slight FSDO and HORRIBLE shoot down, but was shooting 290. I didnt have a tool kit handy check LPR without the newton cap, so heres what i did.
left dwell and inline alone, I removed the newton cap, along with 2 additional shims,put the standard front cap on and chrono'd. I was shooting like 345fps. I did this back and forth, adding/removing shims till I get a desired fps. Finally i was able to get about 298-310fps. This meant my lpr was alittle more than 45psi, because my dwell, and inline were in the same settings, as when the newton cap was on. Hope that makes sense.
I figured this was close enough, so i just tuned the inline down to shoot consistant 290's. So, my lpr was a tad higher than 45 like i wanted, but just turned the inline down to compinsate.
Then came the moment of truth, time to shoot. I turned gun off, regassed, to make sure i had no FSDO, and i didnt, i was pleased.
Then put my vic board and fastest settings and fired away.
...............Unbelievable!!! 24bps on TR 4, NO drop off and it was spitting them out like crazy. people in the shop were like "WTF!!11eleven!1".
So, if you have no tool kit and have FSDO and drop off here are the steps.
1. Put the settings you want with the whole kit on. Chrono to whatever you want with neccasary steps, reguardless of FSDO and shootdown.
2. Remove your newton cap, and also take 2-3 shims out with it, and replace the cap, with your stock cap.
3. this whole process leave dwell and inline alone, then chrono, if you are shooting about the same as you were before after taking some shims out, then you know the LPR is going to be the same or close to it, as before with the newton cap on. If you get close to a desired FPS, you can just leave the LPR alone and do the rest of the adjusting with the inline.
If anyone doesnt understand some of these steps just let me know, pretty much all you are doing is running the kit without the adjuster cap, and these steps will make sure your LPR is where it needs to be with the evolve goodies, or close to it, without having the guage that comes with an angel tool kit.
this process did wonders for me, the only thing im still not satisfied with is the kick, but i dont care anymore. Everything else it working great, and i have the fastest gun on the team.
