Like any other With a few exceptions. With a green main and set up per LPCDs recommendations, start with the adjuster flush. When you are done, the adjuster will only be about 3 turns in to get 295 fps. If you have to adjust the valve spring tension, it is done by turning the hat on the valvestem, rather than changing a spring. This gives much better control, but I've not seen LPCDs method need any further adjustment. : Does anyone know if you sweet spot the Rocket valve like other valves, or is it an exception to the rule similar to the Tornado valve. : Here's why I ask: : From Ravi's page regarding 'sweet spotting' your valve: : "My personal favorite way to set the input pressure for most ‘guns (the Tornado valve is a major exception) is to set the velocity adjuster to the mid point, then adjust your pressure regulator to the point where you get the highest velocity..." : Also from Ravi's page regarding the Tornado valve: : "As a result of how the Tornado valve is designed, velocity is set by changing input pressure. Changing spring tension with the standard adjuster in the back of the ´gun results in velocity changes far too small in magnitude to be useful." : So, is the Rocket valve in the exception catagory like the Tornado valve, or do I sweet spot it like any other valve? : Thanks in advance.
