What kind of pump can i get that gets me up to over 100 psi? Is there any? I know i can do it via compressor and co2 but how obout portable? 120-150 doesn't count.

it is a pump to compress like mountain bike shocks. you can get them at a bicycle store. i got mine for $25 and have used it to 250 psi.

No.
But you can search for one, there's at least two, one is more recent, by spudblaster15, the other one is older, by BrianTheBrain.
Have fun searching.

I guess if you use 2 check valves, and you make it so the main barrel of the pump is much larger than the actual input, so the input to the transfer tube is like smaller than a penny, you might be able to get the pressure pretty high without much effort. How would you make it air tight to such pressures tho? a buttload of o-rings? a union piece of pvc?
