On Edelbrocks website it shows it as preset values for that part number. It looks like and adjustable one but if there is no adjusting screw on the end of it then it is preset only. :-)

You might want to think about putting that fuel pressure switch on the fuel pump high pressure side and not after the nitrous regulator "if" you want to run one. Those things are notorious for causing problems with a nitrous system especially when their set points are real close to the flowing nitrous pressure.

I tried to put one on the nitrous side of my regulator and it would start clicking on and off when the pressure was close to shut off point. Im gonna try it on the pump side like John said.
