heres what ill tell you from actually doing it, you cant listen to people who havnt done it. before i removed my a/c say i was in 5th gear on interstate, i slapped it to 3rd doing 70 i just went, now that i have removed the a/c i hear chirp anything under 100. and my a/c in my car doesnt work, so i just removd it completely i bought the kit to move the power steering up.
So you're saying that the A/C doesn't disengage at WOT? Or are you saying that you got some huge gains in HP and TQ from removing the A/C? Either way, it goes against everything I have learned about nearly every car in production.

well my a/c stopped working a few months after i got it charged. at WOT it turns easier yes, butthe pulley is still there so you still have added crap. and i didnt say i got some huge gain, im guessing probably 2hp at most. and a little lighter in the front. i noticed a diff when i started chirping anything under 100. opposed to not doing it before removing my a/c. and i never had it on anyways.

the chirp isnt the HP gain, its the weight transfer

Ok, so for a few horse power in a car you're not making money with...is it worth sweating your nads off all summer?
