I see 2/3 hp compressors get 110/120 lbs of pressure,how can I get more pressure out of my 5 hp compressor?

Thanks for the post!
It really depends on the ACTUAL horsepower rating of the motor that's pushing the pump.
Many manufacturers nowadays are notorious for overrating the compressor's horsepower spec, or they'll advertise the "peak horsepower" as the running horsepower. This is important because the running HP rating (actual) is much lower than the initial peak HP.
Do you have the model# of your compressor? This will certainly tell me more and I'll be able to tell if you if this is a good idea to begin with.
Most air compressors can pressurizes a minimum of 120 PSI, so this should be no problem for your air compressor.
