But to address your problem... You should just leave the oring be and not tape it. If you can find another oring the same size you can double it up and get an even better seal.
In relation to tailo's comment about a better seal by taping... The double oring mod will provide better seal than taping without unneeded resistance made by taping. With the NF, there is no need to tape. Orings tend to seal better in the first place anyway. (That's why we don't see tape on paintball guns or air compressors as moving seals)

Okay...like footemps said, why did you tape up the plunger? I'm going to assume you have the new EX-3 NiteFinder, which I don't have (only six older ones) so I'm not aware of any modificatons that called for taping up the plunger. Mine utilize the plunger and o-rings just as they are, and all my NFs average 45-50 feet with no bands.
Sounds like the only thing you need (besides removing all that tape) IS a different barrel. Check out Rag's NF mod for barrel installation and materials, or this article, which is the very source of information that helped me immensely way back when, will definitely help you out tons.
I did the search for you, this time.
Finally, go here to learn the basics of Stefan dart making, courtesy of the LGLF (with humor added).
Good luck. Do these and you'll be a happy Nerfer.

Now as far as any more assistance, no one is going to be able to help, because you have not given enough information. Are you using the stock barrel? What kind of stock darts are you use?
I'm going to assume you are using the stock barrel and the stock darts that came with it. Removing air restriction and leaving the original barrel is a bad idea. These newer guns are persicely tuned to fire exactly the way they do. That means the barrel length is directly porportional to the power it's putting out. To make that a little more simple, your barrel is too short. Take an AT2k and put a 2 inch barrel on it. Then put a 6 inch barrel on it, and you will understand. When the barrel is to short, the dart is leaving before it hits it's maximum velocity, leaving it to fish tail and drop off prematurely. So, when there is less air pushing the dart out, naturally you will need a shorter barrel. Now that you've increased the air flow, you will need a long one. This is why we do barrel replacements in the first place.
If you do replace it, be careful about your selection. Just because it's availble, doesn't mean it's the best material. Keep in mind, it's more important to select something your foam/darts will like. You may have to bargain online to get the best material. Personally, if I'm using micro's, I feel cpvc works best on NF's and luckly, is one of the most avaible materials you can find. You may find differently. Don't rush any mods.
If you need any help PM or perferably, email me.

Edit: Just looked over your post again and noticed that you probably haven't seen the Holy COC.

Now, I think I understand what you're saying, but honestly, it's hard because I'm not sure some of it was english.
The dart should fit pretty snug, but not so snug that it's tearing up your darts. I've found that especially on spring guns, snug is sometimes better. Best way I can figure is you have alot of power from a relatively small amount of air. It's more explosive, like a cork in a champaign bottle. However, with air guns, there is alot of air, with what seems like a little less explosiveness and more steady power flowing through the shot. For that, I like to use a little looser barrel, because I've always seen it shoot more accurately.
The length of the barrel will depend on your darts and power of the gun. What you need to do is make the barrel obviously too long and test it. Fire three shots, then cut it back some. Repeat untill you're getting the results you want. Careful not to get greedy and cut too short, though.
Talio.
