Default How much PSI are you using?

I have been running 1100-1150psi. I was told thats too much what are the rest of you using? Is there any danger using it that high? Thanks

the MFG's don't recommend it and most companies jet combinations are tuned at 900psi like NOS.. but if your tuned for it you should be ok.. i run mine at 11-12 with the NOS system and it works for me.. but beware the possiblity of a solenoid failure at that pressure is higher than at the recommended pressure..

same as Turo.

NOS HP ratings are at 950 psi, NX is 1050, I think the others are in the 1050 range as well..
