I've only recently started using EFT and doing L4 heavy missioning. I don't have great DPS.. only 278 with NO drones.
I was wondering if I should bother with faction mods? With Gist C-Type X-large I can replace cap flux coils with CN ballistic controls and my launchers with CN cruise launchers in total this will bring me up to 535 DPS with no implants or drones.
I can usually make 170m a day doing L4s and was wondering if this DPS increase is worth the money spent? ( I know it won't make me do missions 2x faster or anything)

How useful it is to upgrade to faction equipment depends on the rest of your setup.
You mention replacing cap flux coils, which makes me wonder what sort of setup you are using, and if there are other improvements that might be suggested before the upgrade to faction gear.
Remember, that too much faction gear will make you a profitable gank target.

Sounds like a cruise Raven using cap flux coils to perma run its XL shield booster. CCC rigs would be a good place to start if it doesn't have rigs yet, and depending on how your cap usually holds up, replacing the cap flux coils with a couple BCUs and a couple PDS (for cap regen and cap buffer) and going with a non-cap stable setup might be a good starting point... hard to advise on fittings without knowing the current one though.

I would upgrade to a cnr before the gist c xl. also take a look at pith a L sb.
Could buy both the cnr and the pith a sb for less than half what a gist c xl would cost you.

This. You dont need a Complex XL. It'll just waste your cash and make you a target. That said, your DPS sucks. If you have to perma-run, look into some of the 2BCU setups that perma-run a regular XL booster and get a faction one as needed. Or just perma-run a large Pith.

Actually, it will more than double your mission-running speed. A lot of battleships have tanks close to 200 DPS or so, so your 278 DPS only means only around an effective 80 DPS applied. With over 500 DPS applied, that's 300 DPS difference, so you actually kill them up to 4 times faster. Of course, this is not quite true - a lot of BS NPCs have only around 150 DPS tanks or less - but still, a significant improvement.
Just for the reference, I deal around 400 DPS out of my Drake and 480 DPS out of my Nighthawk (kin missiles, thermal drones, rof implant) - and that's T2 fit, no module above metalevel 5, and T1 ammo.
The only problem will be that once you undock in a CN ballistics, Gist XL booster, CN launcher Raven you have a hell of a chance to attract suicide-gankers

It's the Gist XL/faction tank that really gets them. A sprinkling of faction generally isn't worth the suicide gank.
