I believe that is the one that I got. I dont know what the peak HP is on it but I know its the 26 gallon verticle tank. The one on there though is $377 and it doesnt even come with anything. Mine came with a whole bunch of fittings, rachets, paint gun, air greaser, hammer, air sprayer, etc. etc. etc.

Do the tools included have enough torque to take out...say...header/head bolts?

Never tried it but it had enough ***** to remove the monster bolt in the balancer and that thing was freaking TOUGH!! I had three guys on it with a big *** torque wrench and couldnt budge it. Got the air tools out and it took like 10 seconds lol

Hmm... I already have an air compressor, would it be cheaper to just go buy some air tools or buy the whole kit?

Thanks.

can you paint a car with that set up..the gun and compressor look decent but for a budget paint job would it be worth it to buy this...ive got a 90 gt im about to send to maaco..but since i did all the prep i want the satisfaction..and bragging rights of doing the paint myself.....
