Since its gotten hot out lately, ive been poping my A/C on and ive found that if im sittin at idel and turn my A/C on and my rpms drop about 100-200rpm. And if im driving say doing 100km/h (60mph) and i turn it on, it feels like some one hits the brakes and drops my speed by around 2km/h..nothing majour in speed difference, but you can feel the engine trying to compansate for it.
Any ideas? besdies a sized compressor? |

pretty sure thats normal since you A/C effectively takes up some of your usable HP to run the compressor....
