[@godlygainz2759]

My thoughts exactly!

[@evilinside5984]

@dlively1112- Brake torquing/boosting on a positive displacement super charger, is more beneficial to get a quicker launch. By putting a load= pressing the accelerator, while firmly holding the brakes, allows this style of supercharger to build more boost before launching. Another benefit of brake torquing, is that it takes all of the tolerance/slack out of the driveline( ring & pinion gears, axels, u- joint's, & transfer case) allowing for a quicker reaction time. Most stock launch control setup's don't work as well as they could. The best factory launch control setup for a gasoline vehicle is by Porshe, imo.

@evilinside5984 pretty easy to look up.

The cyber beast [apple to apple top spec comparison] would be about 120k$. I do wonder what the cost of the "modded" trx cost is. 130$k?

[@tjeastcoast4669]

If you're drag racing, your AC will add extra resistance to the engine, so the engine wont be able to push that power to the wheels where you need it. There is a reason you should listen to Andre.

[@Alan-tr5uj]

This is why AC compressors have a magnetic clutch; the clutch disengages the AC compressor from the accessory drive under full throttle to protect the compressor from potential over-speed, simply because the compressor wouldn’t be long for this world with repeated brief encounters with 6000 rpm. Proven this out on a dyno just to see for shits- turning the AC off does nothing to improve power under full throttle as it’s ALREADY disconnected via the clutch under full-throttle. On a modern vehicle it’s simply not necessary to turn off the AC. It is true that an engaged AC compressor saps around 4hp(3kW) with the associated penalty to fuel consumption at anything other than full throttle. Idk how many people drag race at 3/4 throttle- so sure is you’re doing that for some odd reason then by all means, turn off the AC. That’s an old habit from a bygone era- 4cyl cars in the 80s & 90s were noticeably more sluggish with the AC on- also, an AC clutch typically has a lifespan of proper operation of 8-10 years. They usually go bad before the compressor.

[@michaelsheets6851]

The compressor turns off at full throttle on all vehicles built in the last couple decades.

[@anthonyc1883]

The A/C compressor doesn't disengage under heavy throttle?

[@llcooljay66]

Bro that is like less then a tenth. Also new cars disengage the ac under heavy throttle. Plus both have ac on This is not even the cyber beast

[@jamesengland7461]

What they all said here. I used to have a 91 Pontiac LeMans 1.6, and it had a sensor problem whereby the AC would not turn off under full throttle, so I had to turn it off if I wanted to pull out into fast traffic. Made a huge difference- because the car was faulty.

[@unclejamesx9808]
