umm, u could get a bigger chamber i guess as long as u equal out ur c:b ratio to .8:1 and propane would help i bet too. a chamber fan wouldnt hurt.

pneumatics are also MUCH more powerful than combustions, especially when you get into building your own valves

Oh come on Walrus, hybrids are safe if you know how to operate them. If you have experience and take all the safety precautions, you could build one safely. They're safe, you just need to keep your head out of your ass when you use one.

thx for info guys...i have no clue where to get propane, and i think its better to have combustion because u can load it fast,i hate pumping or using a heavy air compressor,and since im just getting into this stuff(combustion) i dont know how to tweak a sprinkler valve to make it double my preformance so thats why im asking questions about combustion! :wink:

propane can be found at any hardware store, camping store, or plumbing store its used with a torch head to solder copper pipes, you should be able to get propane
