Get a 110 and a 120 just to be sure, you'll ALWAYS be able to find someone that can use an upgrade spring... so don't worry about having extra.

As a rule of thumb, think of the springs rating as meters per second.. convert that to FPS and it'll give you a VERY ROUGH idea of what the spring will give you

110M/S = 360.## FPS (gives me about 370-390 depending on setup)
120M/S = 393.## FPS (gives me 380-415 depending on the setup)
135M/S = 442.## FPS (Haven't installed one of these things yet so I have no idea.. but I know it'll be over)

It boils down to this; If you want to get EVERY last bit out of the gun, go for the 120... but there's a chance you'll be over.. so get a 110 with it just in case


Also, if you open a gear box.. Have a chrono. It makes your live so much easier, the Xcortech 3200's are really good.. and pretty cheap too
Thanks for your help Amos, it was very helpful. If I get the 110 or 120, would my stock gears and stock motor be able to handle the upgraded spring?
