Dodge,
I have a Hypertherm 380 and I run a 5hp compressor with a 27 Gal tank. As long as I am not running anything else in the shop I have no problems. However if I have a small leak of any kind I will have to wait for it to catch up. It's pretty safe to say it is maxed out. One of these days I'll get a bigger compressor but I get by with this one for now.
Being a Jarhead you should be used to getting by on the minimum.LOL

Take heed to the filters and dryers, they will save you alot of headaches.
