Do fast bursts, and then half-time them - 16ths, then 8ths or 8th triplets. Then do longer bursts, and keep the half-time stuff the same length. Then shorten the half-time, until you don't need it. Or, try doing those bursts, and then try tacking a second burst onto the end, and then going back into single bursts. Lather, rinse, repeat, until you can consistently do the bursts longer.

I could try Powertabbing some basic examples but I'm nowhere near my Windows box so it'll have to be later.

When I want to tremolo pick really accurately and in control, I max out at about 160-170-180.
If I do short burst of say only 4 beats (4 notes on each beat) I might get it faster.
So, maybe I should practice in bursts?

I've been having the same exact problem in the same exact situation... so I tried lefty guitar playing... and low and behold... I'm more then twice as fast (but its liek starting guitar all over -_-' )

Yes, I tried that, too a few years ago, I still have a lefty guitar. And yes, my picking was much faster, but I didn't have the patience to start all over after playing played righty for more than 15 years....

Now I'm basically stuck, and I will have to work it out playing righty, I'll need to practice tons and I will need lots of patience.
Sometimes I feel there is some good improvements and at other times I just feel like
