Tuning your Ego:
The method to setting your LPR/dwell/velocity posted below was recommended by Jack Wood from Planet Eclipse. In no way should this be considered the only method or perfect method to tuning and setting up your marker correctly. All methods below provided courtesy of Jack Wood and dmansr25sd at pbnation.

"The first thing I would recommend...is to increase the dwell up to 9, and maybe even 9.5-10.0. Some guns that leave the factory have to have the dwell raised over the standard 8.0 ms in order to reach higher, more consistent readings, so it is normal and nothing to be concerned about. It is just a fact of life that some solenoids/QEVs require a slightly longer electrical pulse to achieve a consistent rammer pulse." -Jack Wood
"That depends very much on the gun. The only way to set it perfectly is to keep upping the dwell over the chrono. Stop upping the dwell when the velocity peaks, and then bring it back down a couple of points. That should give maximum velocity for minimum dwell. Obviously every time you alter the LPR you should do this again to get it absolutely spot on. Also, if you find you get a massive gain in velocity when you start upping the dwell (i.e. it sends the velocity 320-330+) then bring the in-line pressure down, leave the LPR and double check the dwell by dropping it and raising it back to the peak velocity. Basically it is a very delicate interplay between in-line pressure (because that is what stops the valve from opening AND what fires the ball out) LPR pressure, valve dwell and hammer/bolt/pin mass."
Based upon those two posts these two steps arise:
1. Set LPR to the point you want (Mine is currently at 2 turns in from flush, and many suggest that this is the perfect setting)
2. Keep raising the dwell over the chrono until it peaks, unless it jumps above 320-330, in which case you should lower your inline pressure a little, lower the dwell a bit and continue to raise again until it peaks. Once you reach that peak the dwell can be lowered slightly, yielding your optimal dwell/LPR setting.
I have also noticed that if you just raise your dwell until the gun seems most consistent it works just as well, but keep in mind you will want some high quality paint to get accurate readings.
*NOTE* Settings aren't magic, they can't do anything beyond tune your gun and make it more or less bouncy. But as you have read not one set of settings will have the same effect on all egos, every ego is different, and for that matter every ego solenoid has a dwell at which it operates most efficently resulting in the best consistency.
As for bounce eliminating settings it is next to impossible to share settings with somebody and hope that it will eliminate bounce, the best that you can do is to get some good baselines to work off of and tweak them with your own trigger. So don't rely on someone else's settings hoping to find one that works, simply use them as a reference point from which you can find the optimal settings for your marker.
