Well it might be in my head but seems like without the ac compressor and tensioner setup the motor spins up a bit quicker. I can feel it rev up a bit faster even if I barely give it some throttle. I could see how the compressor pulley with a tensioner as well could create some drag. Also without the condenser the car has been running about 20+*F cooler. Before when the coolant temp was usually about 185-195. Without the cond its been no higher than 171-174, even when I would get on it. stopped for 10min at the store, started it back up, coolant was 185 and within 3min of street driving it was down to 171 again. This is great for me because that should mean lower cc temps= less/no detonation or retarded timing especially since Im high compression. Btw I run distilled water with 2 bottles of water wetter. Seems to be working great for me.
