To re-valve or not to re-valve – that is the question
For the 25 caliber Condor, is it worth the extra effort and cost to do any work on the stock valve, or simply upgrade or replace it ?
What do I get for what I have to put into each step ?

I am using two different options.
One is the RL valve stem and tophat on my 25 Condor, but I have not been able to get the Top Hat out past .07 and I am not sure it goes past .07. It does shoot Kings at 1100 FPS and that is really all the faster you can push them accurately.
For real power, I use the Tagdagger Airarcher valve and fire control parts. This consists of a ferrel that replaces your power wheel assembly, a very heavy spring, and a 110 gram hammer.
You need to set your tophat out as far as it will go.
This set of parts is a 2nd generation assembly for the Airarcher. When I got my first one, the regular AF Condor parts would shoot and arrow at 320 FPS, with the first set of Airarcher vlave parts that same arrow would do 400 FPS, now these new parts throw them at around 500 FPS.
I get 120FPE+ witrh 7 rings, and I am about to try them with .25 ACP cast 50 grain bullets, which if it all works out should be a heavy hitter.
Best of all worlds would be the Airarcher parts with the RL valve stem and tophat set out to .1
