Shopping for a on-board air system

Lookin' for advice ...

Converting the a/c compressor is not a option.Since, I added a second alternator for welding..

The duty cycle must be high,since I wanna air 35 tires.

I ran one of those with out a tank and it sucked ass...Might be better with a tank...The compressor didn't last long. But that might be because it was and still is mounted under my winch and it went swimming a few times lol..

Thanks for the input. Before I spend 369.95 .Just wanna make sure it'll do the job.

Their specs they claim it will air a 35 tire from 15psi to 30psi in 2min.20sec.

I guess thats good?:confused:

Thats pretty slow. If you notice the CFm is what is doing the work for the compressor. So with only 2.54 CFm thats a lowerend rating. I think my stock Sanden compressor puts out like 8 ish CFM and I have a 7 gallon tank. I can time how long it takes to fill my 35" from flat and I think its right at 2min 30sec.

CO2 air seems to becoming more popular but I don't like having to go get it filled and paying each time I do that. Maybe I just use mine too much to ever think about CO2 air. Just some thoughts for you.

BTW I obviously have OBA and I am close to having my OBW done. maybe a route for you since I made my OBA for about $125 or $150.
