Im waiting on a HW97KT and was wondering how the Vortek Spring is the 15fpe-18FPE im able to make my own guides. Does this spring up the power at all or should I just order the 12fpe spring any info would be greatly appreciated.

I installed the Vortek 18 fpe tune kit and it is as close to stock while offering no twang you can get. I was very pleased with the kit for sure.

Tom at VT makes good stuff! if are able to make your own guides and top hat {etc} I think you'll really like his springs JMO, but getting 18ftlbs maybe questionable due to other variables like seal fit and proper sealing! :P

Mark is right...............here is the exact wording by Vortek for the HW97 kit, "Drop-in tuning kit 15ft/lb+(17cal), 17-18ft/lbs larger caliber velocity output.
Easy install DIY."
Did I get 17/18 ft/lbs..................no. With Beeman FTS 14.72 Copper Plated pellets I avg. 16.43 ft./lbs.
I am more than happy with those results and fact the twang is gone and the gun buttery smooth.

I have two 2 G kits installed in a 97 and a 77 in 20 cal. Mine are set up for 15 and 16 FPE. They shoot smoothly no twist and a thunk. It was shimmed up to as high at 17 FPE but shoots much better at 15-16 FPE. better a 15 FPE hit than a 18 FPE miss ;D
I would say get at least his 2G kit at $59 its not worth your time to make a tophat and guide. Plus the kit comes with a new seal that will be better than the factory one. After you deduct the cost of a seal the kit is a steal...unless of course ya have the guide materials and enjoy the making of them

I bought the vortek spring for my HW50 and made my own guides huge difference very smooth no twang. I went ahead and ordered the spring for the 97. The 97 im getting is only a .177 cal I was just hoping to bring it up to around the R1s power.

Don't know that you'd get that but it would shoot the 7.9's in hi 8's maybe low 9's JMO :P
