M130 spring maximum fps

So pretty simple question, but let me describe my setup first.

AA Hop up, Maple leaf 60 deg. Autobot/Omega nub, and Laylax 6.03 430mm barrel. I just picked up an AA zero trigger and AA cylinder with the blue piston, and the seller threw in an unused m130 spring. I haven't been able to chrono my gun with a real one, but the can test tells me I'm shooting in the 450 range with as near perfect compression as I can get. My local field limit is 500 fps, and I originally intended to just get an m150 and cut some coils off of it. I'm curious if I can hit that 500 fps with all the parts installed, or if I should sell the m130 and pick up the m150. (Note I don't have the parts yet to test it myself as they are in transit, and I'm asking because I want to get the new spring ordered to receive it in time for game day next week.)

Thanks.

I should have been more clear in the original post when I said that I didn't have the parts as they were still in transit. I'm achieving this fps with the stock spring, cylinder, and piston.

Also I'm aware of that rule of thumb and information as well, I just wanted to see if anyone has achieved that fps with this particular spring because it was free, like I mentioned. I don't want to buy and cut a coil if I don't have to. I'll likely just go the washer- spacer route.

That just seems to link me back to the index, but I am fairly certain I know the post you are referring to, I've been searching for someone who has hit 500 with an m130. I think that if I can hit 450 with a stock spring, I can get an m130 to hit 490 at the very least, via washer-spacers. I suppose all I can do is throw the bastard in, and get a real chrono.
