NX peak pressure What pressure should you be considered at, The other day I was working on the car and forgot I had the bottle warmer on and it was a 1300 psi in a 15lb bottle. What pressure should I make sure it does not exceed.

Well the bottle itself can handle over 3000PSI and there is a safety burst disk that will blow out at around 3000PSI, thats why you need a blow down tube if the bottle is in the cabin of the car. You can let the bottle get as pressurized as the summer heat will get it and it wont hurt anything as long as you dont spray it into your motor at anything over 1050PSI. That is the highest bottle PSI that NX recommends. Anything over that and you will risk leaning out the A/F

NX instructions say 1,000 psi but the fire & ice bottle warmer instructions say to set it at 1.050 psi. 
If you spray at too high a pressure you will be lean but if you spray at too low a pressure it will be rich. A little rich won't hurt you but too lean can be bad.
If you spray at too high a pressure you will be lean but if you spray at too low a pressure it will be rich. A little rich won't hurt you but too lean can be bad.

A lot of people will get it to 1050 and then purge which will drop it a little. NX rates HP ratings with PSI set to 1000PSI, although they recommend this setting they say it is OK to run their kits between 900-1050PSI, any less and you will run very rich and any more and you risk leaning out. I like to after purge be at a little over 1000PSI
