HP from A/C removal? I am finishing up my cam install and was wondering if I left the A/C belt off I might see a little more speed or lower E.T's out at the strip? It makes sense that i would gain a little..
These guys are right. The a/c compressor has a clutch that unlocks when the a/c is turned off or you go WOT. You won't see any gains from removing it. Now removing the entire system will drop a little weight from the nose of your car and help out, but it then you sweat your *** off.
