I bet if you went WOT that would beat an OBA LOL That's a pretty cool setup! I did purchase a hanging scale today accurate to he ounce. I saved about .50¢ but don't have to wait for the mailman.

Only accurate to an ounce? That's pretty weak... that'd be like my scale going in .06 lb increments instead of .01 lb increments
lol maybe we'll try a higher RPM test as well. With my superchips programmer I can set the idle RPM higher... maybe i'll put it at 1500 RPM for one of the tests!
I've been promoting these things for a long time. As far as I'm concerned, unless you have an old beat up 1948 Dodge Power Wagon with 1.6 tons of extra steel plating added, Hi-Lift jacks are just bad news. They make great can openers on your bodywork when they slip. (Notice I didn't say "if" )
They don't need a lot of pressure because they're a large volume air bag. PSI means pressure per square INCH. So the area on the almost 28" diameter bag end which is about 615 inches, even at a measly 1 PSI, that's 600+ lbs. of lifting force. Only 5 PSI is over 3,000 lbs. That's why the exhaust works. Your compressor will work okay, it'll just take a while.
Another reason I think an X-Jack is required trail equipment, is in case of a rollover where someone is trapped. They're thin enough to cram in somewhere to get the rig off someone.

Thanks Adondo. I know the premise and how psi works so I wasn't questioning if the exhaust would work or not, just referencing a few reviews that mentioned their OBA was quicker.... though they didn't mention if they had OBA reservoir tanks, which I could definitely see working pretty quick.
I think it's neat how low pressure, high volume air bags work. And with such low pressure, you can almost get by with a leaky exhaust system.
The X-Jack in your friend on sand dunes or a beach. Try beach sand with a Hi-Lift. You need a platform of some kind, usually a 24" square piece of plywood.

I have not found a price for this, what did you guys get it for?
