you are 4mm stroke down, so it feels like 9 - 9.5 FP is about right for that powerplant.
Things you can do to help a shorter stroke setup make more power:
- lighter piston, to accelerate faster ( but I'd not go less than say 180g)
- Stiffer spring to get faster initial piston acceleration
- try and wring a bit more stroke out of it
Also, what are the transfer port dimensions ?
Excellent
The Cometa piston is only 150g with the seal so quite light
So with volume that critical I think it’s why I see the HW seal making a bit less power as it’s a few mm taller.
Not sure I can get more as cocking slot shows very top of piston, I’ll get a couple of different springs and make the nose from brass, I did have a small piece but forgot the measure twice cut once rule
