This is a great project!

From least cost to most...do it step by step and move on if it survives.

1. Reshim (done)
2. piston mods...done already
3. battery (11.1v 2000+ 20C+ LiPo...but then you'd have to buy a good charger and balancer....or just get a big ass 9.6v 3000+mAh SubC battery)
4. You'll want a stiffer spring to keep the FPS up if you've short stroked the piston. That's for FPS. Also for returning the piston forward before the gears come back around for another shot.
5. Wiring/mosfet...16AWG....mosfet will help with your switch assembly burning out and will give you a boost in ROF
6. Big motor
7. HS gear set

- sector chip will delay the nozzle back a bit...helps with feeding since your mag will have a hard time keeping up.
- consider a powered box mag...easy to keep filled with bbs (you're going to empty a full mag really, really quick) and the power feed helps get the bbs up into position

Be prepared for it to not survive the first trigger pull once you get past a given point. A buddy of mine who does these silly things (his battery is a 11.1v 4000mAh 35C LiPo and he's using a m160/m170 spring to keep up in the high 300fps range). He's basically buying pistons, gears and parts every week.

Have fun...good luck...wear goggles....start hoarding replacement parts now.
