I was looking at the Viair 450Cs off ebay for around $200 but wound up with a C02 tank instead. figure out how much space you have to work with under the hood and get the largest one you can stuff in there. for me it was the 450c. Viair's site has all the specs for you.SteveO said:Looking for opinions on the listed compressor set-ups. I want it for airing up 8 - 33's quickly without a tank. If you know where to get the best price, that would be nice as well. Thanks.

Good point, I do want one with a 100% duty rating and it looks like the Viair 450 is the one for me. Do you run a tank with yours? ...SteveWATRD said:Take a look at the duty cycles on the compressors listed and I bet that helps you make up your mind. I murdered two Quick Air II's before switching to my ViAir 550C.
I have the 550C, but the 450C's seem to work well for the folks who have them around here.SteveO said:Good point, I do want one with a 100% duty rating and it looks like the Viair 450 is the one for me. Do you run a tank with yours? ...Steve
Here's some commonly used numbers for translating duty cycle into run time;4BYnTacoma said:Would a compressor with a 33% duty cycle rating be good enough for the occasional air up of some 32's?
I am looking to just get a portable compressor, just something to hook up to the battery air up and go.
Just read about the PUMA on Pirate, sounds pretty good and cheap too. Thanks.grumpy said:puma sales has one for $189 thats comparable to the quickair2

Are there any specs on this DC5000, like CFM, etc?Blacksheep said:If you want a good compressor, not alot of money. The DC5000 is the one I have and is the smame one Grumpy is telling you about from puma. Its made in Phx at a company called AIM Industry's. It only uses 18 amps and pushes more CFM compared to Viaair and Quickair. I have wrote up a chart that compares every aspect, and you can't beat the DC5000. I have used if for over 6 months, works perfect. Shane on the AZ board actually got the first one, and I was told to get it. I can air up my 32's in about 8-10 mins. And its Duty Free. I am hooking it up and installed my ARB next week. Putting a 3 gallon tank.
