that's a lot of money for almost no upgrade.

if you are not going with a more powerfull spring I would also agree on getting a polycarb piston and biggest bang for buck at around 330fps is tiano-koba twist barrel. That will make a huge difference in your range and accuracy.

I am not familiar with the brand of AK you have, but normally the stock hop up unit is perfectly fine unless ur firing a high rate spring (at least with TM's).
