whp loss from a/c??
anyone know what the whp loss is when the a/c is on? ive heard from people on the board that the fan disengages at WOT and some that it doesnt. ive also heard from people a general rule of 10 whp. does anyone have any better info for me? thx.

I know there is a noticeable difference cruising with and without the A/C on, but then, consider at cruise around town the engine's putting out maybe 30 HP. 5HP would be 17% of the HP.

In most new cars today, while in WOT your car will still blow air but there will be no A/C. You can test this yourself, put your air on 60 full auto and then floor it, while going through the gears feel the vent and it should be just warm air, assuming you are in warm weather.

I thought it shut off above a certain engine RPM? Wouldn't that signal be easier for the engine to determine than WOT? I guess the TPS could tell this... Maybe I should , I think I saw it in there somewhere... I just think it makes more sense to shut it off above an engine speed instead of WOT. Going up a hill for instance... downshift to bring the revs up and the A/C goes off, instead of having to floor it.
