You could look into a new loader- depending on what u already have, a revy might be good enough, but a lot of Angel users have found that the Evolution 2 is a good feeder for their guns. Some have found that the Halo forces balls past the detent and causes chopping and double feeding. (i have an Evo 2, feeds great-plus a new board is coming along that is supposed to boost the feed rate to something like 22bps.)
Its always nice to have a set of barrels, whether it be a set of Boomsticks, or a barrel kit like the Freak or the Pipe. (personally i own 2 boomys, at .688 and and .690, the range in which i mostly fire)
A decent air system is a must. You can go from anything as expensive as a Max Flow or Armageddon or AIR, to a simple preset tank such as a PMI Pure Engery or a Crossfire tank. (personally, i have found that a preset delivers more than enough flow and recharge rate for an LED and the expensive tank deals are needed)
This one is kinda personaly opinion, but some players perfer a drop forward. There are lots and lots of different lengths and types of drops, but i found that a Shocktech 'Swoosh' style drop is pretty user freindly, they are offered in 3 different lengths, and look pretty good on any gun.
Alright, as far as Angel specific upgrades go, it seems like your pretty set as far as the 'cosmetic' appeal of your gun, meaning it sounds like your gun looks pretty good and dont need any more volumizers, detents, breech knobs or feeds. If you can track down a true double trigger frame (an AKA double trigger frame to be specific) its great to have one of these because it allows a double trigger and looks really good while doing it. There have been a few recently in the for sale forums here and at www.pbnation.com. Otherwise, im not sure if the Truth Series has any 'lp internals' or not. If it doesnt, you could maybe look into installing the LCD LRP and exhaust valve and stem. They allow the gun to operate a bit better and with more efficency, although specific results do vary. I found a great increase in shot count. Now i can shot about 1200 shots off a 88/3000, which isnt bad at all.
I hope that helped ya out a little bit, good luck!

Thanks for all the info.. I appreciate it. Yeah I need to find out some more info on the Truth series angels to see if their low pressure or not. the gun already has a double trigger and I have a ricochet 2K hopper and a PMI 48 3000psi tank. This will hold me over untill I can afford to upgrade.
