Default cam and ac

I just saw in another post that with a cam swap ur car might stall and not run right if the ac is on. Is this true, Im looking at the tr 224 563 112 but if I can't use the AC I don't want to do it bc it gets way to hot in my car and besides is a DD. Let me know. I plan on getting it tuned if that makes a difference.

I just put a 228/232 @.600 110 lsa in my car. Havent gotten it tuned yet but it runs fine with the ac on. Needs to warm up a bit before it will idle without surging but I dont have any problems with the ac, Still nice and cold.

I can sometimes actually start my car with the A/C on. Cam is similar.

I have an F10 and no problems with the AC. It is all in the tuning.

It's all in the tuning. I had my idle w AC on set to 925rpms up from 875rpms. This allows the car to hold it's idle perfectly even on a cold start w AC on.
