I installed a new pump on my old devilbiss compressor and am just curious on how much cfm shes putting out. I went with a laplante pump and with the old pump it used to pump from empty to 122psi in 5:15 seconds and with the new pump it goes from empty to full in 4:23 seconds. I wouldnt mind figuring out cfm at 90 psi also. Thanks alot.

Even after you have figured out what your compressor can provide, each hose, run, fitting and regulator can effect the output.
I use this little Handy Dandy Tool to check and see what I can get out of each drop.
Kinda like a V8 engine that puts out 500 HP, but your only getting 395 Rear wheel Horses.
