200 questions - what can I do with $15? :-)

Don't use Zener, resistor still provides overboost protection, but at a
higher boost.  

BTW I meant 600ohm (something near that to as low as 460ohm) not 600kohm.  I
actually used variable resistor which allows to dial in a cutout just above
the psi setting of the pressure regulator, which subsitutes in place of the
frequency valve.
One of these days I'll put a diagram on my website for the paper.

BTW, currently using 1.8 BAR QLCC with a resistor setting of ~4kohm.  That
lets me set the regulator to ~18 psi without detonation.

Sorry I can't be more specific - no time to even work on my own projects.

Hi.
I was going to do RZ mode and I suppose you meant it (but forgot Zener). But
where is pressure regulator is going?

Thanks.
Konstantin.
