where or how can I figure out the size of the compressor I need based on our needs? we now have a 25 gal. / 5 h.p. /6.8 c.f.m. unit. this unit cycles about every 2 1/2 to five minutes depending on our use that day. size is no object. it seems there should be some kind of formula based on energy cost, cfm required and tank size. thanks in advance.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
