Thats some pretty high compression to be spraying or have any power adder. I'd say 125 shot would be safe, but dont take myword for it.

NX is a good choice for brands. they are high quality, usually at a decent price, they make the best bottle heater(fire and ice), and you can send in your solenoids to get rebuilt at any time

I don't doubt it I have done some crazy crap.....I used a 125 on a set of cheap sil-o-lite pistons.... ran about 25 bottles before it lost compression.
