Default E.T's and A/C

Has anyone ever ran with a/c on and compared e.t with a/c off? does it make much of a difference?

if you tried to run your a/c at the track they would kick your *** out for dripping water on the track. I've seen plenty of guys get backed out of the staging area for it.

Even if ya did manage to get a run in, it wouldn't matter. When the Computer senses the car go WOT, it cuts off the compressor for the AC.

no because anyone who's been to the track knows not to dump fluid on the frigging track. Maybe you can find someone with a gtech pro and mess around a little bit if you're really that interested. While you're at it, throw a class 1 hitch on your car and see how much of a difference towing a loaded jet ski trailer would make. LOL!

A/C on at the track??
Where do people come up with this ****?
Nobody runs A/C because of the dripping condensors on the track.

Ok...re-read my first response.

Since ya missed my point first time around.... When you are drag racing, you generally mash the Go pedal to the floor. When you do that, it's called Wide Open Throttle(also called WOT). When the cars computer sense that it's in a WOT state, IT SHUTS THE AC OFF. So, unless you figure out how to make the computer in your car let you have AC at WOT, or decide to drag race at less than 80% Throttle, THE CAR WON'T LET YOU DO IT.

It's a feature that started showing up with OBDI electronics and is nearly a standard feature on OBDII. I may be a mallet head...but at least I can understand what I read.
