Pdi 6.01 for best consistency
Up to 6.05 for maximum range with acceptable grouping
The Pdi hop chamber along with a barrel upgrade would be the absolute best initial upgrades
Followed by a good cylinder set ie; Pdi HD OR VACCUM palsonite
And or trigger.....for the maruzen L96, I'd say avoid rebuilding or reinforcing the stock trigger as no matter what sears you change 90% of it will remain that cast material which will end up failing at higher velocities. I found the pss10 zero trigger to be the best option because of the extremely light pull (note that you will lose the safety feature)
Another important item is the back screw that replaces the load marking pin at the back of the cylinder you will lose the pin the tells you a round is in the chamber when moving to the high end upgraded spring guides and cylinder sets.
I hope some of my info is of use
Sorry for the long response, I stumbled on to this site while contemplating selling my 96
