For those of you interested in picking up the SP-8 or ION, I highly recommend the following upgrades (in this order).

1. L6 Bolt - L-6 is much lighter than the stock bolt, creates less kick from the marker and has helped conserve air (Decreased weight + Increased Air Flow = Increased Performance ).

2. Virtue Eye - I replaced the stock Break-beam Vision Anti-Chop laser eye with a Virtue laser eye to help see thru any gunk that gets in the way.

3. ION or Virtue QEV - I added a Smart Parts Ion 360 QEV (Quick Exhaust Valve) to improve cycle rates and shots per tank, while decreasing dwell and input pressure.

4. Virtue ION Board - I recently capped my guns upgrades by adding the Virtue ION Board. I was a little skeptical about the upgrade, until I read a little more about it and watched some markers in action. This board is amazing - First of all, I no longer have to remove the had-grip to make Mode, Dwell or Rate of Fire changes. All my changes are done form the trigger. Here's a list of the available modes:

Semi Auto:

NPPL Legal Semi Automatic Fire;1 trigger pull equals 1 shot. Virtue?s enhanced trigger sensitivity, combined with advanced eye logic give Virtue the fastest semi-auto mode in paintball.

Fully Adjustable Ramp Mode (thousands of ramping options):

Set your gun to ramp exactly how you want it. Control when the ramping starts, how much it ramps by as well as the maximum rate of fire. You set the ramp activation speed, ramp percentage, and max rate of fire. The only fully adjustable Ramp Mode with thousands of ramping options.

Breakout Mode:

Turn the gun on and the first shot will shoot full auto for as long as you hold down the trigger. Once you release the trigger the gun goes into Ramp Mode and ramps based on your settings. The full auto on first pull does not repeat until you restart your marker.

PSP Ramping:

PSP Legal when capped at 15bps. The first 3 shots are Semi Auto. After the 4th shot the marker ramps to the rate of fire your "Max Rate of Fire" is set to. Once the trigger is let go and 1 second elapses, the 3 shot Semi Auto count restarts.

NXL Style Full Auto:

NXL Legal when capped at 15bps. The first 3 shots are Semi Auto. On the 4th shot hold down the trigger, and the marker will shoot full auto at your Max Rate of Fire. Once the trigger is let go and 1 second elapses, the 3 shot Semi Auto count restarts.

Auto Response:

1 shot on the pull of the trigger; 1 shot on the release. This setting will make you shoot twice as fast as you can pull the trigger.

Full Auto:

Hold down the trigger, and the marker will fire at your max rate of fire, or as fast as your loader can feed.
