right now i built my first gun.. it has a 4ft 3" chamber, and a 5ft 2" barrel, and a 1" one... with the 1" it shoots rocks baout 200yards at about 90psi.. i know the valve is slow to open, and i tried my 2" barrell n put a golf ball in it.. it barely even made it out of the barrell, 2 feet maybe.. i don't really know why... but i am asking if i do the mod sprinkler valve.. i know its faster.. but what kinda perfomance increase will i see? with the 1" barrel will it go from 200yard to 300? and the golf ball situation?

The performance will at least triple.
You should invest is sdr-21 golfball barrel.

The GB aint going anywhere as there is too much blow by as the golf ball doesnt fit well enough in a 2" barrel, either wad the golf ball or buy 1.5" SDR-21
