What pressure you set it to depends what kind of N2O system you are running (e.g. - wet or dry) and what your fuel system looks like.

If you are asking how to set the switch, I mount it in a "tee" on my air compressor line, put a VOM meter across the terminals and adjust it until it goes on ands off at the pressure I want.

I would suggest hooking up a fuel pressure gauge and monitoring your WOT fuel pressure, then set the fpss about 2 PSI below that. If you find it cuts out too often, drop it another pound or two. If it still cuts out, you need to look into a bigger fuel pump.
