any estimate on a/c removal hp gains?

nothin really the pump turns off on full throttle anyways

its not really meant to be a horsepower gain. its more for weight transfer.

sure, you get a little bit less parasitic loss from the belt accessory system, but the real purpose of it is for weight transfer.

0.278 HP.

mattdel

that is on a stock motor, though.

if you took YOUR a/c out, you'd get 0.649 HP

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.

actually I have done it myself...

i was talking about the 0.649 hp crap, youll notice a diff. but if you live anywheres that gets hot, its not worth it, i live in louisiana, removed the a/c and omg i regret it but i didnt feel like pulling the dash out to change the evap core. there was actually a proven study though for every pulley you delete you get like 2-3 hp.

I've completetly removed all the HVAC gear from my racer.
I think you'll get more in wieght reduction than in HP.
I've read where Vizard claims that each 10# you remove from the car, it has the effect of adding 1 HP..........
Seems reasonable to me IME..........
