My ? is when looking for a fuel pressure regulator what PSI should i look for? 4.5-9/5-10/5-12 ect ect. And what should it be set at for a 200 shot? Thanks for your help?

Here is a ruff sketch what i am assuming how a stand alone is plumbed. The fuel cell i am useing is a 3 gal aluminum. It has a -8 an outlet,-8 an return,and a -8 an vent. I am assuming i do not use the return line correct? Also on the other side of the fuel regulator is where i switch over to a -6 an fitting to hook into nitrous solenoid.

No return is called a dead headed system...and will be fine.
As for your fuel pressure regulator, 4.5-9 will be fine (lower pressure uses bigger jet)
One thing I would add is a low fuel pressure cut-off switch (incase the cell goes empty or the pump sucks air)...basic safety
