Just a weight thing - when the a/c is off and the belt is freewheeling (clutch disengaged) it uses so close to zero HP that it's not worth figuring.

He's most definitely kidding, if you really want to know what it will feel like... launch from a red light with it turned on, then launch with it turned off. That's exactly what you will gain.

The sticker thing is poking fun at the stupid ricers who slap stickers on their car and think it will make it 'go faster'

Except that the WOT relay would cut it off anyway.

All that A/C stuff weighs a good bit, and it sits in about the worse spot. Also, removing the condencer from in front of the radiator will make a difference in cooling, the air is going to hit the radiator first and flow better.

A while ago when I had A/C I ran a shortbelt bypassing the smog and P/S which dropped my 1/8th mile time .2. When the compressor started leaking I deleted A/C and could no longer that shortbelt, I had to run P/S and dropped my times down another .1.

you'll sweat your a@@ off in the summer, causing you to dehydrate, which in turn you'll lose weight, which will add horsepower, if you wanna look at it that way......

I just eliminated mine and the biggest gain I hope to see is the cooling ability.I believe the weight loss is minimal but the weight transfer will be better.

Cons: Hot as hell in the hot months, both windows definitely down.

Pros: Drops 50-60lbs off the nose and relieves up to 5 hp.

True performance enthusiasts remove it Or maybe I'm just an idiot

I noticed a lil' difference in sotp feel and weight transfer.
