I'm just trying to look into what kind of compressor i need. Is a viari 450 good or should i hit up the twin 380's? What kind of time does it take to fill with these?

I just really wanna know how long it takes to drop / raise (although thats mainly valves and line) and how quickly the tanks will repressurize.

Thx

I'm Runnin Two 5 Gallon Tanks And Two 380s And It Takes About 3 min To Fill Up From The Time They Kick On. But Sam Is right It All Depends On Your Tank Size

I Dont Think That It will Make A Whole Lot Of A Difference, But Two Compressors And Two Tanks Will Give More Play Time For Sure.

engine driven. it will be cheaper... and your tanks will fill a hell of a lot faster. less hassle, and no gay compressor sound running all the time. i have 2 7 gallon tanks and a york engine 210 takes about 4 maybe 5 minutes from 0-200psi... i dunno i really never timed it but my friend has elec ones.. and its no comparison

marc, i was looking into engine driven, they're like 600+ so two viair 450's are cheaper.

jon, thats basically exactly what suicidedoors sells but thats fine, if its a better price id go for it, how long to ship and how much? I live in ontario canada.

thx

$600? where are you looking? try ebay... http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=york+compressor&category0=

or any auto part store... for a york 210 of of a 78 ford econoline van... and you will either need a v-belt clutch or a serp clutch depending upon your vehicle. i spent around $300 for both of the ones i have gotten, one for myself and one for someone else
