Damn, I noticed with the A/C on the car isnt as quick but i didnt realize that it could take like 10% of your HP. Then again, what can you do, especially in Louisiana, where we have maybe 60 days a year that are under 80 Degrees

Maybe they used the AC to keep the intercooler cold, then during WOT the AC would shut off anyway. But the IC would still be nice & cool for quite a few seconds.

Maybe it was the intercooler, but I swore I read about it being implemented into the intake...ah well.

u can spray water into the engine to cool it. I heard of turbo setups using water to cool the charge air in the engine instead of intercoolers. Freaked the hell out of me, but I guess it worked for them. You would think an engine and water don't mix but its possible.

Your engine uses a lot of air and the a/c would not be able to keep up.
