Air compressor & Jake

ANyone install a pneumatic (not vacuum) Jake ona cummins?

So, here's what I'm thinking....
Install an Onboard Air compressor from Onboard Air with a big-truck air tank hidden under the truck.
And install a pneumatic Jake.

I'm thinking that I'll get a little faster actuation from the Jake.

I'll also have air for neat stuff like....
Air bags
Air tools (at the track, helping some poor blonde...)
ARB Air locker (not sure if I'll go that route)
Air horn

My only negative thought towards this is that dodge may be counting on the delay and operation of the vacuum jake

Any thoughts?

I have plenty of time to make up my mind....

TIA

Tony

that can always be controled by using a snubber & checkvalve to delay the pressure building and allow quick release.. [you could make that with a 1/4" swing gate check valve with a small hole bored in the gate]
