Default quick question

ive got a 98 z with a 228/578/112 sollid rollor cam and when i turn the a/c on the car as you would guess it will die 75% of the time. is there anyway to help keep the a/c from bogging the motor down so much. i really dont care about the a/c but for now the car is my dd and it really sucks when it rains because it gets hotter then hell with no air movement in the car. hope this isnt to stupid of a question, any help would be great thanks.

You should be able to get air movement by turning on the HVAC without running hte A/C....

Who tuned it? Check that: Was it tuned at all?

It's all in the tune.

If it is properly tuned you don't need to drill it out.

If it needs to be drilled out after being tuned, it needs tuned better, IMO.

I drilled out my TB blade but without doing so I don't know if I could have driven it to the tuner. But I had a pretty big cam in an auto and teh tuner said they prefer you not drill.
