Just curious. I really hate the power loss, though.
It was terrible on my 106hp civic. I thought it wouldn't be too bad on the tc. Its not, but its still noticeable. I'm sure on an automatic it wouldn't be so noticeable.

hmmm...hey, since my car is getting dyno tuned tomorrow morning, should i ask for them to do a pull with the a/c on just to see? LMAO ofcourse, doesn't the A/C turn off under full throttle to maximize acceleration?

i dont know if the A/C itself shuts off but i believe the compressor stops running...same thing i guess.
and you prob wont even notice a diff.
your looking at around a 5HP or less loss. i would be really surprised if it was above 10.

like i said, you prob wont notice...
when dynoing a car there are so many variable to take into account, each run is not going to be exactly the same, so the A/C debate being proven by a dyno is pretty much irrelevant.
