When we used the Gen 1 shifter in 2005 and 2006, we had the pressure at 60 PSI and had no problems. But like I said, you have to have to be careful to adjust the location of the stroke.
Agreed. We've shifted at 60 psi for the last six years with no issues. So long as a stroke limiting spacer is in place and properly adjusted, you'll be fine.

**I should add that you need a stroke limiting spacer on even the 1/2" stroke pistons though.
