Its looking like with the 50/50 CO2/R-404a mixture I am getting almost a 1psi change for every 10°F in temperature change.

I did a test like this on tires if purged and filled my self with 95% nitrogen back in 2006 and saw something like a 1.5 psi change for every 20°F change.

So the CO2/R-404a mixture only changes pressure with temperature slightly more than nitrogen. Nitrogen according to some people doesn't change pressure as it heats up.
