Using pneumatics to move something is about VOLUME. You will need larger diameter tubing and fittings to appreciably increase speed of inflation of the air bags! Go back to the Norgren Valve catalog and note the orfice size of the valves. Add in the length of the urethane tubing with the flow friction coefficient. As you probably sense, it is not a matter of just replacing the compressor.
