Will upgrading from 8.4 lipo to 9.6 NIMH increase my FPS?

The nub is what the hop arm actually pushes down onto the hop rubber to make it protrude into the window in the barrel.
By the time you've bought the barrel, hop and hop up you've spent over half what the gun cost in the first place.
Given the cost of the gun versus the performance improvement with those parts, you can get 95% of the way there for less than half the money.
ZCI 6.02 Stainless steel barrel, SHS Prowin style plastic hop up unit (this is actually better than the Prowin) and a Modify Soft Flat Hop and nub. This will hop 0.28g BBs with ease, and consistently.
I use those Nuprol batteries, and they consistently kick the butt of bigger capacity NiMh batteries than the one you have. If however you've run them to the point the rate of fire has dropped that low, if they weren't buggered before, they are now.

I may just invest in a better gun, a CYMA or G&G, I've heard of a lot of issues with TM M4s though so may steer away from them.I had terrible results with the plastic prowin copy. Would not stay in place for love not money.
It'd soon wind off until no hop was applied.
The metal prowin copies are great though. But maybe I had a bad one.

I have a good bit of budget, so what would you recommend for a new gun? Preferably full metal receiver and rails, good ROF, good trigger response, solid 340-350fps.I had terrible results with the plastic prowin copy. Would not stay in place for love not money.

Check out Specna Arms, G&P for excellent externals and solid internals with good upgrade potential while still performing well out of the box. ICS is also a good choice.
If you're less inclined to tinker then get a Krytac.
I don't know where you've heard of issues with TM guns, but if you have the budget they're excellent.

Ics or TM best out the box at the moment.

Any particular models you recommend?? Ideally 16" - 20" barrel, full metal construction, quad rail, up around 350fps

@Readman97 This may be the boring choice, but after reviewing this thread for a few minutes and seeing your various questions it's clear that you don't know a lot or very little about gun internals and in a recent post wanted "long barrel, metal, quad rails" seen on about 60% of all guns making that part irrelevant and should more focus on internals.
Now this isn't a bad thing, you may just be new enough to airsoft that you're still at the plug and play stage - some poeple don't leave this and that's fine also.
I would suggest you perhaps learn a little about the inside of your gun, learn how each part works and it's purpose.
Why people suggest certain parts, why some parts are boycotted or even guns as a whole.
This is an excellent parts list inside each gun with brand recommendations with short descriptions https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/29h0sw/recommended_brandsparts_list/
It's a good read when you learn the names of each part.
Doing this will help you make solid reasoning for changing any parts like the barrel, hop-rubbers, motors and how batteries work, without making jump to conclusion claims or assumptions based on word of mouth from other airsofters on fields.
The lengthy part will most likely be not what is good but the WHY it is good, like why my 4" barrel can hit targets further than my friend's 10"
Listen to tech forums over airsofters on the field, 9/10 they're talking bs unless they're a tech.
It'll take time, lot's of it and you may get bored but I would highly suggest some research into what are quality airsoft parts.
Good luck!
