Ok, so after I got the toolkit I made sure that my settings were as listed in Ken's setup. It turns out that I was fine with the LPR and my ram was correctly setup. I went and bought a new medium volumizer and a soft face bolt to help with my paint breaks. I went out this past sunday and the breaks were a lot less but I was still having them happen about 1 time each game. It was actually warm that day, low 60's and I was using good quality paint. I switched back to my infinity barrel as it had the perfect fit with paint. I can't figure out why I am still having breaks beacuse other than that I am loving my speed. I called our local wdp tech and he seems to think that the only thing I have left to check is the detents and specifically my Halo B's force.

I would like to know how to exactly do the adjustment because all I know is that you turn a little white dial on the board counter-clock wise. Is this how you do it? I had a hard time finding out how you do it but I found two sentances here on the boards but it wasnt very detailed. Lastly about the detents, how springy should they be? When I press them with my fingers, they are very easy to compress. I am assuming they should be much stiffer.

Thanks for you help guys/gals, I appericate it very much.

My settings:
Dwell 14
LPR: 65
Sensi Mode: 2
Halo B
Soft Face Bolt
Correctly adjusted Ram
* Yes I do allow for the correct amount of shots fired to allow for the sensi to calibrate itself and I did the drop test 2 times and it is working great.

For the Halo stuff there is a seperate thread in the hoppers section where i believe there are a few people who describe the setting of sensitivity on the halo, as for the dial you have to access the halo board and on the board there is a pot screw that i think is set at the nine o'clock position everyone seems to be setting theres to a seven o'clock position. And there really is no exact pressure for the detent springs, stretch them out a little an shoot if you cop and think thats the problem stretch some more.
Also are they chops, or barrel breaks?

Wow I am sorry for not even thinking about going to the halo board, that was stupid of me :). Umm as for the breaks, I talked with Bob Moon(fixmyangel.com) and he told me that if there isnt shell pieces all over the breech and inside of the feed neck then they are not chops, he said they would be breaks. He told me to check out the halo because I had already eliminated the LPR and Ram. I am thinking about buying some new detents to be on the safe side. I am hoping to get this fixed on my own but if I cant, I have no problem sending it litteraly down the street. Thanks again for the help.

P.S. OK so I looked into the breech with my barrel off and de-gassed and I noticed that a small, a really small portion of a paintball can be seen on top of the ball seated in the breech. I wish I could take a picture of it but all I can say is that there is a extremely tiny amount of the second (top) ball that can be seen. I dont know if thats good or not. Just food for thought.
