I feel like there is some joke there about the size of your motor.

There is a balance between motor size and speed. Bigger motors have lower max RPMs, while smaller motors can have some crazy high RPMs but won't have the power to actually turn that fast under load. I have a range of motors that I'll be experimenting with to try and find the right balance. Also compressor size comes into play.
