Default when you drag.....

and you turn off the ac, do you put it to the off and leave the circulation button on or off....and do you turn the [A/C] button off or on?? cause when you turn the circulation button off air still comes in.

A/C off
cirruclation off
temp ---------> HOT
and since i put it to the hottest stting i put it on the winshield thing.
when the cirrculation button is off yes air comes in, the fater you go the more air comes in.

yeah my friend used to say something about putting the temp all the way to hot, but i don't understand why. i mean if the air is off why would it matter what temp its at?

putting the temp to hot will take the warm air away from your engine bay, hence less heat equals a more efficient motor

my rad on my winter beater sucks, putting temp to hot definetly ensures my engine stays in normal range and doesn't overheat keep the heat up.

(oh yea, and if your overheating, do this and turn the fan all the way up..)
