Mike,

You will find that the venturi works best at about 29 PSI inlet pressure. It must be connected to the low side of the pressure regulator and there must be a pressure switch on the high side.

If you don't want to take my word on this, I would suggest that you post on the official FIRST Q&A to get a ruling on this.
