after the meter & regulator it's down to 1psi 7-10 hours fill time... if you had 10 psi at the stove the flame would be 10x bigger

Lol, I am the gas man.
Residential delivery pressure is generally 0.25psig. 10psig on a house line would blow up the 2# regs that are built into most appliances and any pilot would be extinguished and blowing gas... and then kaboom goes the neighborhood.
If it's a recent gas line installation, it's probably 1/2 mdpe. I don't recall what the maximum throughput is but it would also depend on your distance from the main. In any case, residential meters will not pass more than about 500scfh.
To the OP, again, the cost to make a reliable and safe compressor will not be economically viable.
