Actually Gil, increasing the storage size is of little benefit. While it is true that the off cycle will be a tad longer, the on cycle will be correspondingly longer negating any cooling effect.
The largest I can find available commercially is WW Graingers 2HP 115v, 15amp, 5 CFM @125 PSIG, for $399.00 US. These numbers are real. That is they conform to ASME standards. Remember too that CFM goes down as the pressure is incresed. My 5CFM @ 125PSIG will probably expand to 6 or 7 @ 90 PSIG
Hope you find what you want.

Thanks for the input. I'd heard both sides of the argument (as "fixnair" and "crash687" have demonstrated).
Anyone else?
I'll look at the Graingers too, thanks. I've never heard CFM described at 125 before but you're right that it would translate into about 6-7 at 90.
