This would come down to how much overlap your cams have, Turbo cars will have low over lap but intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time. This will happen as the piston is coming up on the exhaust stroke and as its coming down for the intake stroke, over lap will be in degrees of crank rotation as it comes to TDC and away from it, ie 10deg of overlap.

As said befor keep the pressure there and feel/listen for leaks. Home Depot should sell the proper fittings to hook your aircompressor up.
