Superstock pump opinions needed

I own this 05 superstock. Internals are all stock.

Pros:
I like the lines
I like the 86* frame
I like the colors
I like the ASA (not shown, PE on/off)
feed neck is ok but scratched
ok pump effort, not too heavy/hard

Cons:
It farts a little
pretty good pump handle bounce with severe fps differences if I'm holding it or not.
somewhat loud, my son's trilogy pump is half the sound signiture.
sloppy generic pump kit, but it works.
No auto-trigger.

So, is it worth putting on a nice CCM pump kit, trying to iron out the hammer bounce, and upping the thing to auto-trigger? Or should I sell it off and look for a Cocker with the stuff I want? Or sell it off and look for an S6 or Empire Sniper? I'm low budget and can't afford a T2 or JL2 or 6.5. I figure this superstock is worth 200-ish.
My intent is to do a few more pump tournaments in open class next season.

Please give me your thoughtful opinions.

Just buy a madman spring. Stick in a blue main, green valve, and sweetspot it.

Go play and have fun.

Sounds good, I'll just take one step at a time. I will eventually have a few bucks to maybe upgrade the pump and get the autotrigger bits. Hopefully before spring season starts again.

Wheres the best place to get a madman spring kit?

Id say really anywhere they are cheap enough. I got mine from Pb gateway. Also you may want to consider the ccm internals, once tuned they help out quite a bit. I love my 2k5, as I can tell you love yours. Keep us posted with your progress

Just change the internals and use CCM or at least the springs. I've changed just the springs on some markers (for that smaller budget) and it's made a huge difference in smoothness and no "farts".

I love the body of the superstock. Other than an AGD automag and a ccm s6/6.5, I want a decked out superstock sniper.

I haven't even played pump but I can tell you from what I've heard that switching out the lower internals with ccm parts and getting a ccm pump kit would make a huge difference when it comes to farting. and then find a day when you're bored and feel like holding your marker for a while and sweet spot the reg c:
