For those of you that have home shops with an impact wrench, what CFM and torque ratings do you recommend? I just bought a compressor with a 3.2CFM @ 90PSI rating for interior trim work, but am now tempted to get something that would be usable with an impact wrench for working on the car. It looks like that at 3CFM the tools provide ~200 ft/lbs of torque.

And, yes, I realize that I should be careful with an impact wrench. This would mostly be for taking things off or doing an initial tightening. A torque wrench would be used to bring things into final spec.
