The intermediate pressure should be between 130-150psi. Just like it 
always is. Remember, the ip (intermediate pressure) is 130-150 OVER 
AMBIENT. So at 100m a gauge checking the IP on your 1st stage should 
still read the same amount.

I haven't done the math and it's 4am, but I pay $65 for a 330ft3 
bottle.
