Randy, think of it like this... your maggie is an air compressor. It was designed to keep 376 cubic inches of air compressed to ~6psi @~6000 rpm (the engine)

A Honda turbine (small body) can compress 100 cubic inches @ 6psi x 6000 rpm, but it would puke it's guts trying to compress 376 cu in.

#1 thing is spec the compressor, the compressor is factory spec'd with a minimum electric motor hp rating. The tank is only a storage device made to keep the compressor from running almost continuously.

Make sense?
