    Your cap pressure is going to be limited by your radiator. If you're running one of the aluminum core units like PRC or Walker I believe 15 to 16 pounds is your limit - PRC sells 16# and Walker sells 7# & 15#. You may need to check with your radiator supplier to see what they recommend as an upper limit. Do you have a coolant recovery tank? I would think one would be necessary in your FL heat.
