Does the modifying of the diaphram sprinkler valve with a blow gun really make that much of a difference in respect to the solenoid?? By how much would you say in like feet per sec or something? :?:

It opens about 3 times faster, which allows the air to dump faster, so you get better velocities.

THEMOST....annoying person :wink:
Yeah it does help, most people pull numbers outta their ass but it would be close 3x, and it does make a huge difference,just read one of the thousands of topics on it they all say the same.we dont waste $15 for a cool trigger......well I do anyway :P
