Notices my 3.0CL run stronger when.....

I notices that my 3.0CL run a little bit stronger when my A/C is on. Also run stronger when my fuel is above half. I know that sound weird....cuz my civic would lag if the A/C was on.

Do yall feel that way about your 3.0 or is it just me?

The type R sticker on my gas cap adds about 5 WHP because it turns from red to blue as the fuel tank goes from F to E,

Mines faster with a full tank of gas. I don't know about the AC, but I ussually turn it off bc it seems like it makes the car slower. Do you ever use octane boost?

mine is noticeably more responsive w/ a full tank o' gas. Seems to defy all logic, wonder if it has something to do w/ fuel pressure

ummmm... you guys got probs... A.D.D. or something!!!

I agree that anywhere from 1/2 tank and up my car runs smoother, but i want to asay that its a combination fuel force and weight balance in the car through shifts.... I can be wrong, but logically makes sense...

The AC kills the car per say... once you are taking more of a charge from the alternator, your engine wotrks harder, so that may be the illusion of a stronger car... but iits really only more strain, not power!
But yea she is HOT!!!!!

the car does seem to be more "peppy" with a full tank. you would think that with the extra wieght of the gas that the car would slug along. with the a/c on, my power is cut.

A/C on is slower. Full tank is faster. I think it has something to do with fuel pressure and Honda motors. Same thing for my friend's SI.
