Best cyclone upgrades?

What would you recommend for the best cyclone upgrades? Dollar to value and bps increase along with dependability? Let me know what you have and if you think it is work it.

Thanks

I'd say the ones from techt.
Mine work great and they are the most popular one out there.

Actually I've seen feed fingers that had burrs on it, the part that's attached to the body. The first thing I'd do is take it apart and give it all a good once over.

Why do you want to upgrade?

IMHO stock parts work fine up to 20ish bps and they don't cost any extra

Yeah, I would tend to agree. If your ratchet breaks, then you have an excuse to buy a new one, but the plunger isnt needed. You can make your own QEPH btw by drilling holes in your stock housing, and if you screw that up, just buy TechT's QEPH. You dont really need them though, unless you are going full auto at like 25bps. The metal parts also wear more, so you have to make sure to cake them in lube so that they stay good.

Ya Im trying to get the rof up around 25bps. Not always shoot at those rates just trying to see what it can do
