    @Ozdriver answered my oily filter question. I didn't see his post until after asking my question.

    The Tu-Flo 750 like on mine flows 16.5 CFM @1250 RPM.
    The 550 flows 13.2 CFM.
    Someone I know did the same conversion I did but didn't know about the check valve and he said he had no end of trouble with oil in the engine air intake.

    It depends On the conditions you run in. I run in some pretty dusty conditions, plus I haul heavy on 8 axles. That's alot of air bags and brakes to keep air supplied to.
