Just ordered a 12 gallon tank for my burbon and wanted some suggestions, for what you guys would run.  I was thinking 2 480's would be fine, not looking to spend much more than that, but any suggestions would be great

Engine Driven, but don't buy the kits from Suicide Doors and those other places.  Kilby Ent has the brackets and semi truck shops have the compressors.

ya EDC or several compressors, like (4) 480's. but you would have plenty of room under the hood for an EDC and it's probably the best for a huge tank.

Even 4 480s would take a while to fill a 12 gallon tank.Why such a big tank?

Get a York 210, they were used as a/c compressors on a whole list of cars, as well as big rigs.  they are easy to find on ebay, I paid $125 for a brand new one from a semi truck shop there, built my own brackets, and pieced together the fittings.  It cost a whole lot less than the $1000 most companies want for the same thing.
