Hi list,
I realize that the CTIS is not a particularly popular subject since so few
of us have any experience with it. Michael Goodden (The around the world in
an -A3 deuce fellow) may be the exception, but he may no longer be on our
list.
Anyway, found this on air-up times for a commercial 4x4 vehicle:

............
A number of other sources of on-board air are available. Of the non-engine
driven sources, I've compiled a list of air up times (35x12.50 tire measured
in seconds) to use as comparison:
Begin/End (psi) Currie QuickAir-II ARB PowerTank
8 / 30 230 260 355 115
8 / 25 175 180 265 85
8 / 15 65 70 95 30
15 / 25 110 110 170 55
25 / 30 55 75 90 20
Approx. Cost ($) 495 255 25 299
Run Time Unlimited 40 minutes 40 minutes 40 32" tires, 15-30 psi
This data was measured without any air storage tank, except the PowerTank,
which is nothing but an air (actually CO2) tank and the ARB which includes a
small internal tank.
The modified air conditioning compressor is also a popular air source:
