ok so you got a new barrel. good. Now I'm a firm beliver of playing with the marker for a bit before and after any change. so play with the new barrel and then see what you feel needs to be upgraded/changed. here are some upgrades and what you might expect out of them.

double trigger (composit and/or aluminum)- better trigger feel. a bit faster. a bit more comfortable. The composit is $30 from aci. not a bad deal.

air source - switching to compressed air will give you a bit more consistancy through all types of weather. better consistancy will increase your accuracy because your not compensating for the change in FPS on everyshot.

drop forward - some people like them some don't. I personally feel more tucked in when using one. I feel it makes the marker sit closer to me. This is really up to you. It doesn't do anything for performance. I suggest trying a marker that has one and see how it feels.

Venturi Bolt - Well there is as many people that say this is a waste of money as people who say this is a good upgrade. I have both and don't really notice a difference. I understand the ventur principles and in theory it should be better. maybe one day I'll get around to doing some reall tests.

xchamber - If your going to stick with CO2 and not compressed air then you might want to think about picking one up. Helps greatly with unexpanded co2.

e-hopper - well if your chopping paint because of firing to fast then you might want to pick one up.

HVC - its purpose is to keep a larger volume of air in front of the valve in order to get better consistancy and volume. I was able to get one for very cheap so I didn't even think about whether or not it really does anything. again I should probably do some tests.

hope that helps. a barrel is the best upgrade and you have that. play a bit with it and then decide what needs to be changed.
