Re: 1.1 Pump (am-3227) Really an improvement?

so IMO yes, they are that much better

But when they say they get hot, they get really $@#$@#$@#$@# hot. (we melted some pneumatic tubing)
Which pump was it that you used? Did you quantify / test it in some manner to prove it was better than the Viair?
