Is it bad too...
Should I not run nitrous while the a/c is on? Will it hurt anything?

you shouldnt race with your ac on, it takes HP to run that ac.

It can actually damage the AC Compressor if you over-rev it, or if you spin the compressor too quickly..
There's supposed to be a safety cut-off, but it was designed w/ NORMAL operating conditions...
On top of what was already said about robbing you of power, it can also destroy the belt...

who sits there in their car and goes" all right, I want to race this guy in pure comfort"
It's not that big of a deal to turn it off, race, then turn it back on...

RE: Is it bad too...
Has anyone here done a dyno run with the A/C on & off?
Another forum I was on, someone did it with an F-body and lost over 8RWHP while the AC ran.
