Nitrous Pressure Safety Switch?

Nitrous Pressure Safety Switch? I can't really find a good answer on this, but here's what I'm thinking... We all (or most of us) use the FPSS to keep safe. Why not a "NPSS?" I bought the GenX kit last spring and have since purchased the Maximizer II. Since the Maximizer can manage my bottle heater/pressure (with additional elec. pres. sensor), I no longer need the transducer that came in the GenX kit. My idea is to use a NC relay to disable my entire system if the pressure falls out of the range of the NX transducer. I might have my relays types confused, but I know I'll be using one with five prongs.
So... here's what I want to know: At what pressures does NX transducer "send the signal" to enable and disable the bottle heater? I think it's 900 psi on and 1050 psi off, but I just want to be sure.
Also, good idea, or bad idea? Waste of time with the Maximizer? (since it can cut off in w/rich mixture)
Thanks,

We could set the maximizer not to let you use the system until it reads X pressure. If youare interested.? take a little programming, and time,. Let me know if I need to proceed.

The transducer operates with in 900psi and 1050psi. This is an ok idea, but there usually isn't any damage caused by runnin rich so I don't know how helpful it would be. Go for it and see what happens.
I would like to see a heater developed that could heat the bottle fast enough to compensate for pressure drop during a pass. I know this probably wouldn't be very safe to have a heater capable of this, but it could be connected to the wot switch so that it could only operate while the system was spraying. I don't know, maybe this is a dumb idea, lol. And yes I know you could just use a push system, but I was mainly just thinking outloud.
Sorry for the hijacking, I'll get back on topic.

Now, with what Jeremy was saying...
What about two bottle heaters, side by side? Sure not on a 5lb bottle. Maybe not even on a 10lb bottle. But what about your 12 and 15lb bottles?
Speaking of 12lb bottles... Is there anyway it can have a chrome look? And they'd be mounted upside down, so I won't need the siphon tube. Can you guys do either of that? If anything I need to ditch the tube, but I really like the rounded bottom ends of those composite bottles.
I'm probably going to one of those big car shows this summer so I need to start thinking about appearance mods.
