Using AC = Less Power?

[opensesame]

Not sure it using AC in the Ecoboost results in a loss of power, but my previous 4 cylinder car felt like it loss 30 HP with the AC on.

Not sure but I was able to get my best 0-60 time with the AC off

AC on any car lowers the power output due to the load on the belt, and therefor the crank, from the compressor turning on.

Cars have had WOT switches for years that disengages the A/C coil during wide open throttle

If AC didn't lower power output, physics would break and we would all die.

Most cars shut off the compressor under WOT for this reason. My S197 did, I have no doubt that the S550 does as well.
