    4k isnt too bad, would you have trouble mounting the compressor etc or are they pretty small nowadays? Depends how fast you want to pump them up I guess?

    the tank has nothing to do with how fast the car goes up and down, the valve and air line size determines how fast it travels, and obviously... the bigger the tank/tanks, the longer without the compressors turning on
