Pneumatics Math

Ok so... Here is my problem... im trying to figure out if we have enough air in our robot to do everything we want to. Can anyone help me figure this out?
Known:
4x16cubicinches=64cubic inches of air storage.
2inch piston with 24 inch stroke has a volume of pi x 24 or 75.398 cubic inches
The compressor is know to have
"Free Air Flow @ 10 PSI 0.75 CFM, Free Air Flow @ 100 PSI 0.24 CFM, Free Air Flow @ 20 PSI 0.71 CFM, Free Air Flow @ 30 PSI 0.63 CFM, Free Air Flow @ 40 PSI 0.56 CFM, Free Air Flow @ 50 PSI 0.41 CFM" from Drillspot.com
so asuming i had a fully charged system, if i fired that piston with a regulated 60 psi could i pull it back with 60 psi of force in 10 seconds?
I just need help with my math...
Thanks!
