in my case I was gonna have an "overkill" compressor, blasting or no blasting.... and when blasting it "just" keeps up. 5hp 80 gallon, 2 stage, 18 CFM at 175PSI Emglo upright, It keeps up, but while blasting constantly, it runs the tank down to 90, and pumps and pumps and pumps but itll maintain that 90 PSI all day long. ALWAYS get a compressor that's bigger than you think that you need. Mine is bigger than the one that the tire shop that I worked at at the time, had... same size tank, same motor as theirs, but my compressor head is rated for more CFM's than theirs was.... mine could run an 8 bay shop with impacts, a tire machine and other air tools running all day....
