Good luck

We did the same thing, except we get a pressure readout in numbers on the OI, It really helps us tune the shots. We also have it set up so that a pot controls how much pressure is put into the tank. When we set the pot to what we made 60psi, it will charge to 60, and regardless of any minor leaks will stay at 60 by sporadically charging when the pressure drops.
