The maximum allowed system pressure is 120 psi, so I wouldn't recommend trying to get it up to 125 psi, and I don't believe there will be any discernible difference between 115 and 120 psi.

That being said though, you can use code similar to what we used the last two years. Just figure out how long it takes your compressor to raise the system pressure from 115 to 120, and after the pressure switch opens, continue running the compressor for that long.
