  • Power gained/ET difference by removing A/C?

    i was wondering if anybody knew about how many horses are gained, and what ET difference you would notice by removing all of the a/c components..thanks!

    The only gain would be from the minimal weight loss. Just turn the A/C off and the compressor clutch will not engage, therefore you're not losing any power.
