I have one on my Slayer SXC.

I weight the same as you, and for a comfortable freeride ride I set it at 155-160 psi.
When doing more XC, I pump it up to 170 psi.

setting it to your weight in pounds is a good starting point i think

Dude, just set the sag and you should be good....Just make sure you check Fox's web site for recommended sag settings and work around that. I believe its somewhere between 15-25% of the stroke length.

Fox doesn't post a pressure/weight chart because different bikes use different leverage ratios along with several different length strokes. The same shock would need a different pressure on two different bikes with the same rider.
Set up the shock with 25-30% sag (make sure the pro-pedal is off for setting sag). Then session a while and look at how much of your travel you use. If you bottom often, add air. If you want to use more travel, drop air.
