This isn't really possible.

The difference between the N-Strike and N-Strike Elite is the use of a slightly wider plunger in place of the old reverse plunger. Making an "Elite Air System" isn't that simple. In order to shoot farther, it would also have to shoot faster, and need more air to do so, which could very easily go beyond what toy regulations allow.

Basically, they don't make new Air System blasters mostly because there's a limitation on how much they can do with it. They also require a good bit of time to prime properly and have severely reduced range if they aren't.
