Well I ran the #10 BX and it ran perfect to 160lbs without popping the breaker, woo-hoo!
The run is a hack, up over the lights, but good enough for getting the job at hand done. Putting on a steel roof and I bought a framing nailer for the strapping.
In the winter I'll square it away right.
I don't think it was running faster on 20amp, I'd say runs the same, just it would pop the breaker as the pressure builds. For the life of me I don't know why my buddy, the union electrician, would run it on #12 with piss poor grounding. At the time I just bought what he told me, I wasn't cheaping out on the materials. It also worked that way for 15 years, but I bought a new compressor head with a bigger draw/faster recovery time.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
