Hi Jack,
Try placing a fan in front of the inlet, also make sure the inlet filter
isn't clogged or restricted.
Remember, these things are just internal combustion engines without the
combustion....
The higher the inlet pressure the easier it will be to get your desired
output.
Cheers,

P.S. Perhaps a better discussion for the Shop-Talk list, but I'd love to
hear from anyone who's homebrewed a tig or plasma cutter.
