    Exactly I was making 18psi / 485/330 on id1000 crushed fpr /Walbro then we turbed it down to 15psi. All on the Dyno it would have hit 500 for sure

    I just got some air tools and have never used them so I have a question for those that are experienced using an air impact. When you press the trigger, does your air pressure drop? I have a 10 gal compressor that gets to 125 psi, then I have a regulator that I set to 90 psi, but once I pull the trigger on the gun, the pressure on the regulator gauge goes down to like 65 ish. I even try setting the regulator while the gun was going, and it improved some, but still didn't hod 90 psi, I can get really close with the 3/8 air ratchet, but still a tad less than 90. Is this normal? Do I need a better regulator? I also have an in line air filter and shut off valve, should they be before or after the regulator, or does it not matter? Right now it goes, compressor -> regulator -> shut off valve -> air filter.

    The pressure is going to drop especially on a 10 gallon compressor as that's not very big .I can't really say I have ever watched the gauge on my compressor though .Seems pretty normal to me to see the drop your seeing though .It doesn't sound to me like anythings wrong with your regulator it sounds to me like you need a bigger compressor . I would want the filter before the regulator to keep any trash , rust or water out of the regulator as well .

    Yeah the pressure drop is normal, and yeah I have my filter right at the compressor then a shut off valve I then have water separator right where I plug my air line in

    Ok thanks for the input. The compressor I got because it was rated for the cfm I needed for my gun. The gun requires 5 @90 psi and the compressor flows 5.3 @90psi. I think I'll try moving the regulator but not sure if I can because it came with the compressor.
