Default What's the temp to pressure ratio?

I'm trying to figure out if I really need a bottle warmer. I live in Dallas, Texas and it's already 90% here. At what temp would a 10# Zex bottle reach 950PSI?

Thanks!

Yes you need a bottle heater. Here is why. Regardless of where you live or outside temp. As you use the system the bottle pressure will drop. The systems tune up is dependent on bottle pressure. If the pressure is not atleast 950-1050 the car will go rich and fall on its face.
