I currently shoot CX 4560 Terminator Selects which if I recall correctly were 9.5 gpi. My total arrow weight was 406 grains (28", blazers & 100 gr head).

I have paper tuned and these arrows shoot well. I am shooting 55 lbs

I need to get some new arrows and these are no longer available. I can get:
Terminator Lite Select 4560 (8.2 gpi |0.397 spine)
Terminator Lite Hunter 4560 (8.9 gpi |0.398 spine) (with Weight Forward)
Terminator XP Select 4560 (9.9 gpi | 0.412 spine)

Two questions, will any of these arrows affect the tuning of my bow? I realize I might have a to change my pins slightly, but I don't want to retune the bow.

Second, which would you pick and why?

Yes they will affect your tune slightly because of the weight difference and variation in spine . I think I would go with the weight forward model . It's seems to be a good med weight ,and might get a little better arrow flight with the weight forward .
The CX series is another good choice in the carbon express lineup .

Yes you'll need to re tune no matter what arrow you switch to. I agree with TnRidge on the weight forward arrows. I think you'll like the way they fly at longer distances.

If you want a stronger , thicker shaft at the same gpi , the Easton ST Epics are an excellent shaft for the money .
I'd say they are better than the CX ,and that is coming from a former CX staff shooter .;)

Another arrow that would be good to try is cx maxima with forward directional chamber;) a lil pricey but really light and accurate:coolgleam

Stay away from Maximas!!!!!! any arrow that needs a collar to keep it from splintering is not worth it!!!!!

Thats funny i thought the collar was there to save the arrow from cracking when another arrow hits it. The maxima 250 is my choice, they shoot great and are very strong but they do seem to make noise more than most when I draw my bow.
