1. The only upgrades I would recommend for a rec-ball player are the eBay Valve , [URL="http://www.ansgear.com/ProductDetails.asp
The eBay Valve allows you to greatly increase the efficiency of your ProMaster. (By about ~300-400 extra shot per fill). The [URL="http://www.ansgear.com/ProductDetails.asp
Altogether it should cost you around $65.
2. Also, if you can find one, purchase an ICDU Ram. It is considered the upgrade for your ProMaster, but is currently out of production. It reduces kick, changes the sound signature, increases the efficiency, and makes your ProMaster shoot super smooth.

One of these will run you anywhere from $60-$120.
3. Although the stock barrel is plenty good, I personally would choose to upgrade.
Barrels I recommend: Dye Ultralite, SITE Inc. Stiffis, & the CP Pro Barrel System.
Barrels Kits I recommend: Redz Pepper Sticks, MACDev MatchStiks, Warped Sportz Lucky 15 Kit or the Un1tech Series,
SITE Inc. Stiffi Switch Kit, [URL="http://www.boblongdirect.com/index.php
The Evil Pipe Kit is by far the best bang for the buck.
6. When buying a new ProMaster, you will need to purchase an ASA, so you are going to want to pick up a decent On/Off.
ASAs I recommend: [URL="http://www.boblongdirect.com/index.php
7. Tech support for ICD has now been taken over by VaporWorks. Vaporworks can be iffy on their services. They seem to ALWAYS be swamped with work, but when they do their job, they really do their job.
8. Most markers accept both High Pressure Output (HP) & Low Pressure Output (LP) tanks. Either one is fully compatible with your ProMaster. Some argue that a LP tank is softer on internals, while HP is more compatible with a wider range of markers. However, LP is just as compatible, I use LPR tanks on both my ProMaster and Infamous Intimidator.
Fixed or adjustable tanks are fully compatible with your marker.
9. You can use an Impulse or BushMaster threaded Feedneck on your ProMaster. The Impulse & BushMaster threadings are extremely similar to one another. The Impulse threaded Feednecks can cause damage to the body of your ProMaster, but is highly unlikely. In my experience, installing & removing the Impulse threaded Feednecks cause no damage whatsoever to the body of the ProMaster, or the Feedneck itself. Some will argue it is completely irresponsible to use an Impulse threaded Feedneck.
It is however, recommended to use a true BushMaster threaded Feedneck on your ProMaster to avoid any damage to be caused if possible. However, if you already sprung for an Impulse threaded Feedneck, doesn’t worry about it, many ProMaster owners use these with no problem.
10. To remove the kink you have in the internal hosing, you can either purchase a right angle barb along with some more hosing, or just keep the straight barb & purchase more hosing.

You can also purchase bulk hosing on www.mcmaster.com/, just takes a bit of looking. You can get around 20ft. for $8. The hosing needed is the 3/32 ID. I have used High Flow Intimidator Hosing before with success.

ProductCode=EVILINLINEREGBLK&click=7"]Evil Detonator[/URL] will increase the consistency of your maker, thus increasing the accuracy, & possibly efficiency. The clamping Feedneck(CCM or AKA) allows you to adjust it to fit any hopper & prevents any sliding around in game as well as the need for an elbow, sanding, or any extra stress an un-adjustable feedneck can bring..Altogether it should cost you around $65.
