N20 + Extreme Heat = Safe?
On an average hot day in Texas, the meter on the bottle tips the scale @ 1500 PSI (highest the scale goes). Is it OK to spray at these levels, or do I need to wait until I'm back in the green?
I didn't realize it was so high and it felt like I was shooting a 100 shot.

As long as you don't go lean you won't have any detonation problems. Doubt you had anything to worry about.
But if the bottle pressure went much higher the safety valve would go and it'd vent all of the N20 into your car. (unless you have the safety kit which vents it outside)
LOL, or if you don't have the safety valve on the bottle it would go KABOOOOOOOOM!
(FYI most bottles today have the valves on them)

yes, I have a safety valve installed and its directed outside the car.
If there was any problem I had, it was running too rich, so this should even things out a bit.
thanks guys.

As long as you have the release valve and blow down tube you should have nothing to worry about. Also, If you have a purge you can release some of the pressure that way too.

the pressure release valve is set to blow @ 3000psi. so i wouldn't worry about any pressure below 2000psi.
1500 sounds good.

I don't know how high it is really.
