Rep Power: 0 but then there is also the weight factor which can't be taken into account on the dyno... having an a/c system is like having another person in the car, its like over 100lbs....

AC does take quite a bit of power, but not 15% like someone said. My guess 5-10%, being more efficient on the highway.

Rep Power: 0 Yeap, seems like when you turn the A/C on and try to move anywhere, its like our HP at flywheel goes from 127 to just 27. Definetly fuccin slow. I got the pulley set on but it dosent help much. Still slow. Just drive w/out A/C on...roll down the windows.
