If you want velocities so high, why not just pick up a Tanaka M700 series bolt action rifle and install the G&G Power bolt? You'll easily hit 800fps with propane, and it'll save you tons of money and headaches.... it will also perform much better. Bolt actions are inherently more accurate and quieter. The only feature you lose is the semi-auto fire.
As a field gun, the PSG-1 is one of the worst guns to do up, due to the wobbly body and the inherent limitations of applying high velocity upgrades to the auto-electric system. I always tell this to all my clients who request to do the upgrade: Unless you REALLY LOVE the PSG-1, it's a lot of wasted money to achieve a goal that you can get elsewhere for better and cheaper. There's a certain coolness factor versus cost benefit ratio that needs to be weighed on the owner's mind.
As cool as I think the PSG-1 system is, I can't honestly see myself ever using that gun as a field gun.

I actually love the PSG1 and thus the reason I bought this long ago. I've already upgraded the gears, air nozzle, 180% spring and the old Systema torque up motor for 402fps. I'd just like a little more out of it. I'm not looking for crazy fps just something around the 500 to 550 level. As far as the battery goes, I hooked up my 10.8v from my M4 to it and sometimes it had trouble compressing the spring. My 9.6v will not compress the spring at all.
