No what he is thinking: when you take off the line with the ac on it keeps the car from spinning as bad, plus the windows are most likely up for less drag. ALso if your car is like mine then when you floor it, the compressor turns off freeing the horsepower back to use

all I'll say is are you sure about this?

your a/c shuts off at w.o.t. via w.o.t. switch.
