it's almost 1:30 and I just got the 220 wired up for my big air compressor. you know I had to let it run for the 15 minute break in. it's not loud, but not quiet by any means, and letting the pressure off at 175psi wide open was LOUD LOUD LOUD...****** started spraying ice out of the side my ears are still ringing. I did close the garage before letting off 175 psi. I think it's time to build another compressed air potato cannon now that I have access to 175psi. I know 120 psi would send a spud around 200 yards.

I built a compressed air gun and run it off the compressor on my service truck. It's regulated to 200psi we shoot nerf footballs out of it at each other

damn i wouldnt want to be hit by that thing lol. what do you need 200 psi for? my tank runs 175 but i had to get a regulator to back it down ~90 psi. i love this compressor so far. i'm used to my little 25gal kicking up every time i looked at the hose. i can tool around with this thing forever and it doesnt kick up. easily impressed i guess

figured out how to lower the timing and the slightly high idle dropped.

4" PVC With a good coating of WD40 on the inside so the football launches better lol

I run some big impacts off my truck. I've got a two-man, spline drive impact I keep for some stuff. 200psi and a 3/4" hose makes that thing sing! Lol my compressor doesn't have a big tank but running it continuously it'll only drop to 170ish PSI. Then again, it's a 3 stage ingersol compressor driven by a 15hp Honda Gas engine

I must be crazy but i think it sounds 1000% better in the first vid

Still sounds good though. I'm so jealous of this build.
