the thing at full is about 2000psi.... never less than 200.. (min requirement.. cause it can jerpordize the integrity of the tank if ever less than 200)

Sure. Most of the racers I know don't bother lugging a large air compressor (with it's needed power requirements) to the track. they take a large bottle of compressed nitrogen with them and simply regulate it to 100-120psi. nitrogen is cheap and safe. stay away from the O2. just asking for an explosion there.
whether it's cost-effective to run a compressed N2 tank permanently at the house I dunno. but most of the guys at the race track swear by them.

Yeah. I have a single-stage regulator at the tank that I'll drop to ~60psi, then another at the gun that I'll use to drop down to the actual working pressure. doing it that way keeps the pressure at the gun completely constant as the first regulator always keeps it within just a few lb of 60psi.. so the second regulator has a constant step-down for the gun. without that, the single stage regulator has some drift as the tank pressure changes.
