Default add some easy HP to your TC

I'v done something that i haven't read yet on here. If you have a S/c tc with a nst supercharger pulley and dont use the AC like me. i really don't need it cruse with the windows down.. try this

OK, Take your stock belt that came off when your supercharger was installed and you can use that to avoid the AC. I have a NST supercharger pulley and the stock belt with that set-up by-passing the AC works great NO slipage. One less accessorie for the belt to spin more power. Try it tell me what u think. its easy to do takes 20 min or less.

It's free, that's the point. And it agitates fewer bystanders than removing the axleback portion.

you use more gas with the windows down than AC on.

gamma, only at higher speeds...

and removing the axleback portion does just as much as bypassing the ac instead of having the ac off...

both do NOTHING

mythbusters showed a small dcrease(like i think a few MPGs at best) with the windows down, and a .1(point 1) decrease with AC on.....yeah it pulls a little bit more power, but in their test, it didn't do much


good mod for winter too

You fail to realize that the A/C is actually on all the time in our cars...

You also will not be able to run your defrosters..

Just keep it like it's supposed to be.

Adressing the mythbusters show, at 45 and below it saves gas to have the windows open and at 50 and above its better to have AC on for MPG stuff, 45-50 is no mans land

defrosters who needs that. cars put up for the winter. and the defrosters still worked with the belt off the AC. i hit a couple of cold mornings hit the defrost button and everything was clear front and rear..The only thing i'll have to worry about is the AC pump freezing up from no use. i'll just have to switch belts for a day to run the oil back threw the pump to keep everything working and lubed.
