Hey guys, just pulled the A/C system off of my car and I'm wondering if anyone knows a rough guestimate on how much power may be gained and how much weight is saved over all. The only thing I left on was the core in the dash.
Thanks.
Thanks.
which amounts to a hot summer and no noticeable power gain. at roughly 6 pounds a gallon you would have been better off keeping the a/c and keeping the tank half full.20 lbs and maybe 5 hp
there is always that hesitation with wot with the a/c on. BUT you can just turn it off to avoid that. and on the way home from the track or after you passed the moron in the left lane doing 60mph you can switch it back on for a comfortable ride.considering the a/c compressor disengages at wot, no real performance gains are made
street races are naughtyYoure not gonna even have it turned on if youre at the track. The slight hesitation during a streetrace or whatever isnt gonna make much dif....Leave it on if you can!
Never said my car was a daily driver. I was just asking because I needed the info for something, but thank you.
I didnt mean anything demeaning by what i said. Its just literally a waste of time and effort to remove the ac on a street car if it works! Even on my car which is setup for 600hp, i would NEVER remove the ac. It simply just doesnt make sense. Why remove it? To pick up hp gain? Well there is none to be gained. The only thing he gained was the loss of cold air when its 100* out! Now, if the car was running 9s and he was trying to shave every ounce of weight off to pick up ET and mph at the track then sure but there are even 9 second cars with ac..... He litrally would have noticed more a difference by removing his spare from the trunk.
