Default A/C Power.

Hey guys my good freind brought up a weird idea the other day. What if u were to re-route your ac to your intake? if the theory works, you would have quite a bit of hp when u wanted it? but then again you would also be running the ac wich would slow the car....

lol. umm no. that wouldn't be very effective. I'm sure there'd be a lil power from it, but there are other sources for power rather than running power off of freon.

i would think that with the ac on the loss of power from driving the ac compressor would be greater than the addition of power blowing into the intake. not enough of a gain to even stay at the same performance. but i dunno, you could try it and lets see some pics. haha.
