I found one of the same thing setting in the back of my garage. I was thinging the same thing. I have no idea what the CFM is.

I used the GM one and it works great. it will run an i-gun and grinder just fine. it will slso inflate a 33-14-15 in about 30sec.:smokin:

the gm one is rotary and the dodge is a V with 2 cylinders. i know people with the gm and yorks style, just wondering if theres anything special i should do to get the dodge one to work well.:beer:

Friend of mine runs one,it supposed to have a higher cfm but we can't find any literature to back that up.It's quick but he's only had it for a little while.It does push some oil but he still isn't sure if it needs a seperator or just less oil in the crankcase.Probably has too much oil in it.

I've been running one for 4 years. They rock. Once you get a V-twin, you'll never go back to any others. Most people can't figure out how to mount one. They have a really lame ass design for the mounts. Other than that, nothing can touch em.

I have one on my cruiser with a 350v8.
One major note other than the goofy mounting, is that you will have to remove the intake fitting and remove a restrictor valve behind it otherwise it will not generate as much CFM. You will know what I mean when you get it off, just pull it out with a pliers. Also mine sends a lot of oil through the air lines. I have heard that there is a passage from the bottom oil resivior to the output line to suppliy oil for the a/c system. If you get a change before mounting it you may want to pull the sump cover and look for that hole and plug it. I should be between the cylinders.
