Default need input oasis compressor in an xB

what do you guys think about using an oasis compressor in my xb for my air setup?I have a air zenith on it and its not making me happy,so let me know what you think.I am running all 1/2" lines and valves with a 14 gallon tank with a 110-145psi pressure switch.
I finally finished everything up the way I wanted it.It's pretty quick and I like it alot.I wired my bags into the rear window switches with two switches in the dash,one switch in the dash changes the window switches from controlling the windows to controlling the bags and the other switch allows me to have either left rear window switch doing front up and down and right rear window switch doing back up and down to left switch doing left side up and down and right switch doing right side up and down so I have fbss with the two rear window switches.there was somebody on here that had his on the window switches but I don't really know much about his setup.

The az takes alot of amp draw but even two of them take less then one oasis. i thnk the oasis peaks at 180 amps. and the Az is somewhere near 60 amps. the Xbs stock alternator is only 90 amps so i think u should upgrade that with that amount of amperage running.

^^^^what he said, they are very nice and fill very fast but pull way to much amperage for our tiny charging systems, unless you get a high out put alt. and maybe another battery

i think im gonna do a dual battery isolater and add an optima battery to run the oasis.the biggest thing making me want to run the oasis is its been sitting here waiting to be used for about a year now.according to this calculator I found with 2 az's it will take 2 minutes 37 seconds to fill my 14 gallon tank and it will take the oasis 1 minute 1 second.the only worry I have running the oasis is our crappy charging system not keeping the second battery charged.here is a link to the calculator.

Let me know how it works out. I'll be stunned if this doesn't cause problems. Want to get rid of that Zenith?
