Re: LP diagram correct?
where between the valve and the ram, why?
just fit a qev where the green pipe goes in the ram to improve airflow out when firing.

Thats fine, as Terry said, fit a QEV ontop of the ram to spped up the exhaust, but it would work without just slower.

Re: LP diagram correct?
It means that the gas doesn't have to go back through the 5/2 valve, it just gets vented at the ram see woody's pages

Re: LP diagram correct?
So that diagram is fine, but there are things I could do to make the system more effective?
