And how long if your splitting something?You don't have a 3000 psi guage you can hook in to see how high your pressure does get when splitting, and when you bottom the cylinder out and force the relief valve open? That is about the only way to be sure your getting the power you should get.If I get time I'll check mine with a watch to see the times. Forget what the small engine splitters rate theirs at, but I'm thinking 11 to 16 seconds full cycle?? (mine seems a bit slower then that)You know your flow now, its just a matter of checking the cycle time and calculating how fast you want it?If I could have my 24 gpm at 2000 rpm (instead of 3000) I think that would be about right. I don't run it that fast so I have about 16 gpm at 2/3 throttle (2000 rpm) Its not painfully slow, but was less then I thought.Ken</blockquote>
