Figured this was the best area to ask since more fabricators and general hot rodders are in this area. I'm shopping for a new Air compressor for my home garage. Looking for either 60 or 80 gallon, scfm over 10 at 90 psi, and the difficult part, something that isn't ridiculously loud and will last a long time. 220 power of course, and reasonably priced (under 1k).
Any first hand opinions?
11.48 @ 120 with a 1.80 60' 318, stock 1.88 heads, stock 904, Pump Gas, 13 lbs of boost.
9.94 @ 134, 318 on pump gas, 14 lbs w/ Eddies, transbrake 727, 3600 lbs, 3.54 gear and 28's.

I would look at auctions... maybe a small shop... there are plenty of shops that are going under... just make sure its 220 or a 440 that can be wired 220 but you might have to by a 3 phase converter

One word ...... Quincy (and it is USA made)

ANY business that handles GOOD air delivery equipment should be able to help you.
And it IS the BESTest that you can buy ...and it is not really that much more than the "junk".
