High flow valve
tightbore inner barrel
heavier BBs (increases muzzle energy) - this applies to GAS weapons ONLY
some floating valves
some nozzles

Edit: This spring delays the movement of the floating valve, so more gas is channelled down the barrel before the blowback process starts and cuts the gas output.

Tightbore, Rocket Valve, Mag Output Valve.

Something that can increase the expulsion of Gas.

Sweet gun, eh? I put a 6.01 mm inner barrel in mine along with a Firefly Rocket Valve and a steel recoil guide with a 150% spring. I've ordered a high-flow valve from 007. Haven't used heavier bbs yet but the .2's punch through heavy cardboard at 30 feet. I'm looking for an enhanced loading muzzle and valve blocker but no luck yet.

Heavier BBs such as 0.30g will allow you to punch through cardboard at 90ft!

Would .29g aluminium bbs a good choice for popping cans? (alu vs alu)

And what of .43g bbs, is their a limit on the theory the heavier the bbs get the high the muzzle energy?

Yeah, just stay away from those burritos

I'm not an expert on glocks, but what stokes mentioned seems about right. Tightbores will definately help some.

Any suggestions for an enhanced nozzle and valve blocker for a TM Glock 17? I couldn't locate any for that particular weapon.

Yes, that's the proven theory.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the TM G17 at all.
