Re: How to improve power in piston shooter

3. Next create a low pressure (60) reservior (tank) right before the solenoid with no elbow fittings and use the shortest length of tubing as possible. Length is bad, avoid length.

That should help

remember the solenoid (valve) openings must be 1/8" as per rules and must be able to operate at 120psi, Cv can be high as you can get....
Thank you for the information do you have any recommendations of where we can get some?
