Is there a way to run a line between 2 compressors putting out say 4cfm, and get 8cfm as a result?

if your lines were big enough it would work out that way. i've seen it done for sand blasting. tie the two outlets together meeting at a tee ans then the tee becomes your outlet for the two compressors. my cousins does it only he has one compressor as his primary compressor and runs the second compresser for sand blasting. the increased CFM wouldn't change pressure.
