Okay, my next question. First off thanx to everyone helping with air system and drop forward. I ended up going with the Max-Flo system (68/45) and a warped sports drop. Now my next question is paint. My girl works for a K2 company (owners of JT, WGP, Viewloader, Brass Eagle) and I can get good prices on there paint. But I looked at JT Maxim 2's reviews and people just slammed the hell out of them. So my question is, whats a recommended paint. I used Nelson Anarchys with my old IR3 and had great results, but maybe theres something better.

I use all sorts of paint. From draxxus blaze, PMI BIG BALLS, marbelizer, JT, blah blah blah blah. I recently started playing at a field that uses draxxus blaze and it works great with my IR3 after some adjustments to the Ram. So you can basically run any paint through your marker it's just preference and how your markers' setup.
by setup I mean Dwell, Input pressure, Bolt, Ram Travel. While most markers are purported to be playable "out of the box", playing situation is always changing and will require some setting up for maximum results.

I like to find a tough brittle shell, it allows for the ball to be fired without fear of breaking in the barrel but breaks easily on target. The best paint ive ever shot was the Draxxus Inferno, shot straight and broke everytime and like almost no barrel breaks in anyones gun for the tourney (Remeber here in Canada everyone shots the same paint at the tourney), and I had like 1 bounce all day it was nuts. As for accuracy I found the JT Maxim Paint to shot very very nice...but the shell was a bit too tough and didnt always break. PMI Big Ball is an ok paint for rec ball...not a speedball paint at least from my experience. The Severe Cyclone paint is alright, the shell is a bit tough doesnt always break but it makes a decent mark when it does. The Evil paint is great if your using a LP marker like the trix or timmy. The paint flies pretty good but if your barrel is dirty you will get a lot of breaks, and one break with this stuff causes havock till the barrel is spotless again. The paint break easy on target marks well but its pricy and lasts like 2 days then its no longer that good. Ive been using the Cyclone the most and its a good practise paint but if I could id use the Inferno hands down everytime best paint ive ever shot
