[QUOTE="440sprint, post: 13132487, member: 141283"] Since AC season is upon us now, I sometimes forget to turn off my AC when going WOT! Also, I rarely remember to turn it off when I get challenged on the street! I always feel bad for my AC compressor when I do forget. Can the compressor or its drive belt be damaged by the tremendous torque of the Trinity engine? The AC compressor does take some engine power away from performance, but probably an insignificant percentage of the engine's power. What are other's thoughts on whether there are situations when the AC should be turned off while driving, if at all. I'm sure it's best to always turn it off on the drag strip or track. [/QUOTE]
