Hello All,
New to air guns and have purchased a 1377 and 2240 to start down the rabbit hole of modifying. I have been reading the forum to learn all I can. No shortage of mods and bling! My problem is getting a basic handle on the theory behind the mods, why they are done. I've tried different search terms on this site with poor or no results. An example of a search term I used - "valve theory". I think part of the problem is I don't know what I don't know. I'm picking up bits and pieces here and there but am hoping to find something that ties it all together (like a basic engine tuning guide). Most forums don't look too kindly on beginners asking basic question so if anyone could point me to a basic reference that i have missed it would be much appreciated!

If you try a search on “engine theory” you would probably also get disappointing results. If you do a search on 2240 tuning or mods, you might do better.

First off the GTA search is lacking, I and others found using Google search with gateway to airguns and the topic you are searching for is the best way.
