OK, i took my gun to the field today, and it would only shoot 235 +- 2 fps. With the reg screw all the way out and the dwell turned up to 20. My paint and barrel match was perfect and my bolt and breech clean. I think that it may be a problem with the ram being in too far and that it isn't getting the air to function properly. My lpr reg is fine and outputting 90 psi. so i don't think it's the lpr. I just want to know if i shoud back the ram out a bit? I dont want to mess with it too much but i can do basic things. The electronics seem to work fine, no problems there. Am i right in assuming that if the ram is too far in that it will not get the air flow needed to hit the valve hard enough? Any help will be fine. Oh and it is difficult to put the breach down after opening it. The bolt is getting stuck on the back of the ram slot.

Add maybe one shim (2 if you have to) so you get between 95-100 lpr, turn down the dwell to 14-16 and screw in the reg screw. Try this out and see what you get.

ya..put ur lpr at 105, a couple shims...also,make sure the snap ring is set right...cause every angel has the same problems once the snap ring comes lose..so every 8,000 u should set the snap ring...once u fix those problems it will shoot fine...

ram stroke could be a factor too. put your lpr at 95-100, properly set your snap ring with BLUE LOCKTITE, then finally reset your ram stroke. your manual will guide you through it. its VERY simple to do if u have an angel tool kit. if u dont have a tool kit i advise getting one....
