[QUOTE="Venomous01, post: 5228019, member: 39825"] My assumption of decreased A/C like comes from the idea that 1) the a/c will be on more often used to cool the air going into the engine and 2) it will be used to cool the cabin (which in theory should take longer) and cool the iat2s. It wasn't meant to split duties and re-engineering it to do so may shorten the lifespan of the system. Take that truck and do the same thing in 100 degree heat running this box and cooling your cabin and 1 of 2 things will happen. Either your a/c in the cabin doesn't work as well b/c it's splitting duties or the a/c system is working harder and being strained. My initial thought is the a/c system won't work as well, but that remains to be seen and at this point is pure speculation. My assumption of drag comes from the idea that the a/c is an accessory that drags/robs power from the motor b/c it takes power to run it. Similar to the theory of underdrive pulleys this would essentially be the opposite b/c you would have the a/c on more often then normal. IATs can get high in certain performance venues, but on the streets they rarely get high enough to worry about it. [/QUOTE]
