Question about radiator cap

[unclejud49348]

So I bought a radiator cap from skizot last week and when I went to put it on I noticed there was a number, 1.35 (I think). The number on my stock radiator cap says 1.1. So my question is, should I not use this new cap since it has a different number on it? I'm guessing that it has some sort of significance and I probably shouldn't mess with it, or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
(I have an 05 Accord sedan 2.4L, I think Scott has a v6)

What do you think?

1.3 is for track only I believe? IT just means it takes more pressure before it starts to leak out or something. Correct me if I am wrong.

the 1.3 indicates the pressure will be at 1.3bars. The more pressure there is the higher the boiling point will be and in theory will allow you to run your car harder with less chance of overheating.

That sounds like what I was thinking but couldn't quite come up with the words at the time. I'd also like to add that it won't really negatively affect how your car behaves. I had a higher pressure Spoon cap in my DA and never really noticed a difference in how the car performed or in coolant temps. At the time, it was mostly for bling factor. I didn't track my car even though it was fully capable.

Using a cap with a higher pressure will be find if you don't have another problem but, if for some reason your car over heats rather than the cap releasing at the stock pressure it will build to the amount on the new cap before releasing.
