Default Bottle PRESSURE.... What factors play in

So I know the temp. plays a part in the bottle pressure..
I am trying to figure it out. I had my bottle filled, it was full and showing 900 PSI, it was around 80 degrees.
I get home, park in the garage, and about 1 hour later the thing is at
1150 PSI.
Not that much hotter in garage, but probably played a part.
What else will help me control my bottle pressure.
Bottle warmer with pressure regulator I know of, but as is right now, is there anything I can do to help with the pressure??????

In case anyone has played around.
Thanks guys...

do you want to increase pressure or lower it?

also when the bottle is filled its put in a chiller for a few minutes to lower the temperature, as the internal temp goes up to ambient so does the pressure. To lower it just purge it a few times to get it where you want. if you want more pressure i don't see the point, the jets and solenoids are designed for a certain operating pressure, you can damage the plungers or your motor from a potential lean spike.

Well isnt 900 PSI a little under the ideal pressure you want your bottle.
I am under the impression that the bottle should be right around 950 PSI.
Unless I am wrong.
So that is where I am at. When I go to race, and my bottle reads 900 PSI, I will be a little weak.
As to where the hit with the bottle being 950 would be better.
I am probly at the point where I need the warmer with regulator. If so, then dammit, I will have to get it.

Are you running dry or wet?
I have heard that so long as I am above 800PSI on a dry shot, I wont see that much of a difference on the hit.
Not sure, but just getting everyones opinion.

Thanks for letting me know where you are at...
