my 98 didnt like HP either

Radict. Read back at my last post. You can get a spring kit from just about any paintball shop.

you said they have multiple springs for the 98. its more a trial and error kinda thing? My cousins 98 is 1 of the guns his dad has in a pawn shop. So it may not ever see HPA again but this is good info for me since my bt-4 has the same enternals. thanks.

You're welcome. Trust me, it takes a little bit of time but once you find the match. You are set to go.

I've got a tippmann 98 c w/response trigger and I run a 72/3000 hpa tank and it works awesome. Chrono's as low as 210 and I've had it register in the 290's before. All the internals are stock except the RT. Don't know why I've heard so many people on different sites bash using HPA with a 98c

I'm new to paint ball and have a A-5 with rt and thinking about going to nitrogen is there anything I need to know or do to make it work better?

^only if you have a crossfire tank^....pure energy is backwards..blue is high pressure( about 850) while grey is low pressure(round 450) red for pure energy means its a tank able to be filled to 5000 psi instead of 4500...but if u have a cross fire tank then i guess disreguard everything i just said...

high pressure guns are more efficient. as weird as it seems its true except. the only exception to that is my viking...its a super lowpressure gun and i still get 6 pods and a hopper off a 45/45...i dunno how but i do. and w/ my spimmy i have it unregged w/ 850 psi running straight into it and i can shoot alllllll day i never took the time to count but i shot alot...

I get about 900 shots to my A-5 E-grip with a pure energy 68/4500 HPA, after that u can forget it.
there are spring-kits on tippmannparts.com and u can get a greenie meanie type brillo pad(not a metal one) and lightly polish the internals were the bolts move and maybe put a little wax on the area, this should increase rof and decrease gas usage.
