Ok, do you guys recommend I get a front block set or individual bits? I have seen the Pamer and the Shocktech, but as I aint exactly rich, what would be the most efficient and reliable for a cheaper price?

It depends on how quickly you want them. Often the kits come in blocks already, which adds to the price but then again you don't have to do any mounting which can be a pain at times. I sometimes feel the urge to mix and match as there are certain parts I think are best made by one company while others by others. The only one set that I would buy all together would probably be the Shocktech. Otherwise my current picks of the lot are the MacDev Sonic, DYE 3 way (because I love the Bomb for all the right reasons but don't like how it can wear orings sometimes and doesn't take the standard size, plus the DYE can sometimes be found cheaper and hey, I like variety) or the ANS, and the STO and Clippard Rams. It would be a wise choice to shop around online and eBay and at events, perhaps piecing together the best deals that you can get individually and perhaps save 20% or more in total.

I didnt mention I have a 2000 stock cocker which i think has an Angry 3/4 way as stock? Correct me if I am wrong.
I was looking at a Palmer Rock, but I dont need the adjustable knob because I dont want to fiddle with it.
I suppose I should have asked what are the parts that effect efficiency most?

Efficiency is enhanced by a higher flow valve and bolt with appropriate springs. Currently I run a Rat 3:16 valve and am reasonably pleased with it, but am very interested in the MacDev RED valve and Maddmann Rocket as well, perhaps to go in a Cocker which I am building to sell. A new pneumatics reg would be a good investment, which either the FGP or Sonic (which has an anti-slip set screw on the adjustment knob which would accomplish your desired goal of not getting maladjusted). Honestly I wouldn't get a Rock for two reasons: they require breaking in which is time consuming and troublesome, and they cannot be easily repaired by the user in the event something goes wrong. I know that they don't have many problems, but all things man made do, so it just seems good sense to me to use something easily maintained and understood.
I have seen the RAT 3:16 and it looks like a good investment.
I havent seen most of the stuff you mentioned, do you know any good sites for cocker parts?

www.g3pb.com and www.animalpaintball.com are the two stores I use for Cocker parts, and they have excellent service. I know you live in the UK, but even then ordering from them you will still come out ahead pricewise and it shouldn't take long at all. Even if you don't order from them at the time, they are excellent for reference as well.
