OK Rob,
I did a little research for you. The pump in the kit is a Thomas Industries model 405ADC38-12. It's flow capacity is as follows:
Pressure (PSI)..........Flow(CFM)
40............................0.50
60............................0.38
80............................0.33
100............................0.24

CFM is cubic feet per minute. I would use 80 psi as your nominal operating pressure.
I'll leave the math up to you. Or, in the words or your favorite teachers, "The exercise is left to the student."

Enjoy.
