Ill share.
I found quite simply if you follow the advice on the web to machine up the little brass reservoir, it works quite nicely …just run an image search on LP3 valve repair ..and it will bring up the replacement for the OEM stainless version …the brass does not wear the ball bearing and minutely longer, puts a bit more sealing pressure against the red seal….but i went a bit further.
I machined up a tiny spring guide…just sat loose inside the spring and barely 3mm length.
It reduces the Valve volume = increased pressure. .Ive ran LP3s upto 435 fps with this mod.
Similarly a tiny foreign body placed into the LP2 valve will reduce valve volume.

Hi Steveoo.
I'm brand new here but have been around firearms for 59 years & sir guns for tp years. I just picked up a real clean LP3 with seal kit & new aluminum piston. Since I'll have it apart, I'd like to know your tune trick.
Thanks, Brian
