    For your LPR? About 70 psi is pretty average I think for an RT on/off and has plenty of head room for sticking seals. You can go lower, especially with a ULT on/off, but your ram will fill slower as well, and there is such a thing as "too light".

    Somewhere around 120 psi or so you normally start popping hoses off, unless you use tophats, especially on cheap barbs. I would rather let the hose pop though.

    If you have a fast LPR (like a micro rock), you can run it closer to your minimum as compared to one that is smaller and tighter (like a tickler). Your actual pressure setting will depend on the LPR, your on/off, and the placement of the ram. The higher up the sear you put the ram, the more pressure it will need.

        Your bottle reg should be about 850psi.
        Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

            Higher pressure gives more reactivity. You shouldn't have any problems with the standard 850 psi.
