a/c intake cooling

[coos]

I have been toying with this for a while. While the a/c is running, everyone knows that the car loses horsepower. What i want to try and do is compensate for this lost of horsepower, by using that a/c to cool the intake charge. What I was thinking was running the low side a/c lines through the upper intercooler piping thus during a/c operations lowering the air temp, thus raiseing the density of the air= more horsepower. And it will only happen during a/c operation so during racing there will be no effect because the a/c is off. What do you guy's think?

Instead...

Remove your AC and install a meth kit

Even if you could get some kind of gain, you'd need to offset the weight difference. You can probably get rid of at least 30-40 pounds by removing the AC. Plus that's weight in the front of the car, so it will have a pretty good effect on handling.

If you read the previous posts about this and STILL would like to try. Its ALOT of work and your going to be sadly disappointed. Throw on a 16g and run 14psi

Youd be better off and you"ll shat yourself the first pull you do if your still running the t-25

NVM your n/t my bad for not reading... You er definately dont want to do it. My gs on the datastream showed a 3.94% engine load. Thats not exact but you do the math on the 115whp and see where 3.5% Decrease gets you
