Pac Brake Compressor?

I am posting this here hoping to get an answer or find where to post it.

Anyone know what CFM, PSI compressor I need to maintain 100 psi all the time in a two gallon tank.

I am getting the PACBrake, I have load assist bags, a two gallon tank. Pac says maintain 100 psi, so what size (CFM/PSI) compressor do I need?:

If you're going to be using a PAC brake exhaust brake as well as bags, just ask your PAC-Brake Rep what they recommend. They are a great crew and know their stuff. I know that the new compressors that are shipping with the new PAC brakes are Edit. I can fill my tank in seconds flat from empty and the holding power on the brake is phenominal.

Thanks I PM you on this also to find out your compressor size. I got what they use but that is for a 1/2 gallon tank and I have that information. I was hoping to find out if I should jump to a larger compressor with my two gallon tank.

I sent you the info you requested, but I honestly don't think that your tank size matters. The compressor is going to kick on when the pressure valve tells it to regardless of whether you have a 1/2 gallon tank or a 5 gallon tank. I'm planning on installing a 5 gallon tank soon myself and I'm not at all concerned about the compressor size.
