Spyder Rodeo Upgrades?

Hello everyone, i got into paintball about a month ago, and let me say that its a blast . For my first gun i bought a spyder rodeo, and the first few games i was pretty satisfied with it because it has shot very well and i haven't had to many problems with it. The gun is basically stock, i have a standard hopper, and i use a 20oz co2 tank, and i filed the trigger down a little because it was getting stuck on the saftey. I play woodsball every sunday with my friends, and now i'm looking to upgrade my gun somewhat. I don't need anything automatic, semi is fine with me, the only thing i'm looking for in upgrades is more accruacy and velocity, because my gun doesn't seem to shoot very far. So my question is would a better bolt, and stiffer springs help with my performance? I shoot my gun between 800 and 900 psi(or at least thats what the regulator says). I'm also going to go with a jnj ceramic barrel or a cp one piece classic and find the right paint to use along with it. Any help would be really great. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, and i don't think i need to go as far as to buy a new gun, i just want mine to be a little more accurate, more velocity(if this is possible without breaking balls, because i seem like i'm lobing balls at pretty close ranges), and a little more quite. Last thing is when i shot my gun without any balls or hoper, i can see a puff of co2 shoot out from where the hopper and barrel are...is this normal with the hopper and barrel off, or is something wrong. Thx once again and hope to hear from someone soon. (also some names of bolts/whatever upgrades you suggest would be nice also )

Poor Upgrades ( wont MAX your gun but will work VERY well compared to your stock gun)
Tigershark Bolt 15 bucks, i dun know where the link is
Cp 1 Piece is 40 to 45 bucks if you shop right ( fiki has one for sale for 40 bucks SHIPPED.. great deal)
Empire Reloader if you want to get a little ahead of yourself ( bps wise)
Palmer's reg, if you are going to run c2o for the rest of your life, or for a while :P

i love my new nitro tank btw ( i got a lame tl plus, 4 years old !)

Wat i would reccomend and am geting ( slightly better, and better resale value)
Superfly bolt 35 bucks
Cp 1 piece 40 to 45 bucks
Egg 50 bucks on ebay
Dragun T1 kit ( includes ram, electric trigger frame, Exp chamber, Drop, and Regulator if im correct) 170 on ebay
Nitro tank, 68/3000 from ebay ( get one for like less than 120 bucks shipped) got my tank for 91 bucks shipped, woot

Then im selling my gun for about 70 to 80 percent retail and upgrading to a new mid range gun (bushy, impulse) and keeping my nitro tank, cp 1 if it fits, egg

the order i would do the cheap item list would be

Cp1 Piece + Tigershark
Then palmers reg
empire
anti siphon if i forgot to put it up there (ask an airsmith about it)

My list is
Tl plus
Cp1
Nitro ( i got this ahead of myself bc i dont think the dragun kit works on co2)
Dragun Kit ( btw this thing turns your gun into a high end machine, im only getting this thing so i can get the feel of rec balling which is new to me, but this will be a godly gun for the price 20 to 30 bps depending on mods: 26 is more reasonable bps though)
Im selling my empire reloader that i bought a long time ago, and getting a egg(im getting the egg after my kit is so i dont waste a bunch of paint when i get my kit lol, i shot 1,400 shots at the target practice area last time i went to a pro field.. i get bored..)

Thats wat i am doing, and how im going to do it, gl with your gun stuff, if you ever wanna chat or need help, contact me at AmarPatel05 [aim]

You already said it. You've already figured out what you need which is a stiffer spring and a better barrel. The spring will help with your velocity and can actually make it go over 300fps so just watch out. I'm sure you don't want to give your friends any nasty welts. Get a 32* spring kit and you're all set in this area.

An aftermarket barrel will help with accuracy and it just depends on how much you want to spend. I use a J&J ceramic on my Imagine right now and it works fine although I'm looking into getting a Dye Ultralight for it.

HTH

just want to put a CAUTION warning on the spring kit, i got a madcatz spring kit a while back, polished my internals, and put the velocity on the lowest it was going to go, i was shooting 410 FPS.. get your gun chrono-ed after you do any mods like polishing your internals bc it will make you shoot so much faster than you should, making it dangerous for your friends and yourself
