Well, doesn't really matter.

I've concluded that for piston heads, as long as it's not metal it's good. Match up your cyilinder heads and air nozzle.

For cylinders, reviews are madly mixed. Some say teflon is best, some say KM's TN coating is best and some say coats suck because the flake and just get electroylzed plating lol. Plating being the cheapest and TN coating the most expensive...

Illusion, do you think the TN coatings are better then the brass/w.e platings? XD I guess it doesn't matter THAT much which one i'm getting cuz I'm only aiming for durability with a M120 spring, and 15 rps? lol But since I'm getting everythign already, why cheap out on this? Another 10 usd is nothing now haha.

Get a nice solid piston, remove 1,2... w.e ammount of teeth to correct AOE, maybe short stroke 1 tooth off for higher rofs. (actually I'm still really debating over Prometheus hard piston or G&P polycateal or just go with a random modify one haha)

If you are to build gearbox tottaly, most of the small parts don't really matter, except for maybe easy of installing a anti reversal latch, for which modify's new e ring design is best, and cheap.

Also concluded that prometheus gears have the best rep. Element, usually known for being pretty much crap are rising in rep and ya. Get helicals for low whine, but be espcially careful on the shimming. Also, for low whine you must properly shim the bevel gear to the motor pinion. Also for lowest motor sounds, some say the EG700 and some say Systema turbos, but they require pinion head replacement, probabaly guarder.

Modify modular gear sets work for some gearboxes and when they do they're nice. Just no bearings, but has oil channels in the bushings. Apparently they have a nice sound too, liek the angle sets. But then again me being a total theory guy, I can't verify haha.

and for shells, KA has quite a few broken ones, compared to G&P and systema. Then again, there's those haynes if we ever get lucky for another promotion run at like almost 200 usd lolzzz...
