I also contacted VIAIR and asked for CFM performance table @ 12V. here is their reply:

Well I hope no team wants to buy ones for such a singular use. I use a mass flow meter (~$800) at work but i am using it for important stuff. I don't want to undo the fixture to test just a compressor.
I bet most teams would just care about how fast a compressor tanks to filll 4 air tanks. I might get around to this if I can buy a thomas 215 this summer. The volumes won't be totally the same, thus the test won't be totally repeatable but I think if the data is that subtle and the compressors are roughly the same, i personally would not care to be more accurate and go with the cheaper compressor.
