Steyr LG110 FT power question

Hi all,
​I have a Steyr LG110 FT (.177) that i've been using for WFTF currently shooting at 11.5 fpe. I'd like to up the power to 20fpe for HFT/Open class. I've done a bit of research but i'm just looking for someone to confirm what I need to upgrade to 20fpe. My rifle already has the external velocity adjuster, so I believe i have an 85 bar regulator installed. The transfer port is the black one. So, as I understand it, all I need to do is change the regulator out for a 110 bar regulator to achieve 20fpe.

​Have I got it right or am I as terrible at reading forums as I was at doing skoolwork when I was younger?

​Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Indeed, increase the regulator pressure to 110bar and you are good to go.

LG110's are rifles with enormous potential, I have my .177 LG110hp hunting shooting at 48joule (!) with 16.2gn JSB beasts (302m/s, 1000fps)
Only mods I did are a chokeless 600mm long .177 polygonal LW barrel, increased reg. pressure to 145 bar and a increased plenum size (home made valve cover).
I also have .22 and .25 barrels for it, swapping barrels is super easy.
Within 15 minutes I have it shooting at 7.5 joule again.
One of the best airguns ever made in history if you ask me. Mine will NEVER be sold :)

Thanks for the quick replies. I actually tried dialing in the external velocity dial all the way and got the energy up to 17fpe with JSB heavies. (i'd never gone more than a few turns up or down to tweak at 12fpe) This will probably be good enough for HFT, but then it got me wondering - will the shot count be better with a higher reg pressure and lighter hammer spring, or will it make a difference at all? Consistency was fine at 17fpe, unchanged from when it shoots at 12fpe - nice tight ES and SD.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again!

Hello Sir, May I ask you to share info on how you did this? As an initial experiment, with the original 85 bar regulator, I replaced my Transfer Port from 4mm to 3.0 mm hoping to decrease power. Power remained the same. The eventual goal is to use a 120bar Steyr Regulator to get both 20FPE and 12 FPE with a quick interchangeability. Is this possible?
