Air compressor tests
Puma, ExtremeAire and onboard Harrison R4 compressors were used in the tests. Two tests were conducted. First, Puma versus Extremeaire, ExtremeAire was the winner in this test. Next test was ExtremeAire versus onboard Harrison R4 compressor. The onboard Harrison R4 compressor aired up the tires faster than the ExtremeAire in this test.

Getting ready for the air up competition.
Watching air up competitions.
The Harrison R4 was the fastest without question but also the most costly to set up on an 80. More then $500 based on threads on MUD. Also noted the engine powering the Harrison R4 was at idle. Raising the engine RPM will increase the performance even more. This set-up is FAST!

The ExtremeAire was a little faster then the PUMA and being waterproof gives you a lot of mounting options. The ExtremeAire set up is also more then $500.

The PUMA although slower than the others, it is clearly the best value at under $300 set up. The PUMA requires the least amount of work and installation challenges to get a working set up. YMMV.

As for air up times by second, typical CSC fashion the data and test condition was not 100% perfect. The entertainment value watching the testing unfold was high.

In closing they all will air up your tires in under ~10min and have solid history for performance and reliability. Each has their pros and cons picking what works best is a choice each person needs to make based on there needs and ability to set up.

Side note: I will admit after seeing the speed of the Harrison R4 I wanted one! If someone offered a Harrison R4 bolt-in kit for $500 I would be all in but after a couple hours of reading Yorks in 80 threads the Puma will continue to be my choice.

Would you pay $500 for a Harrison R4 bolt-in kit after seeing it perform?
