Here in TX it gets 110 and HIGH humidity.. so in the middle of the day my ac barely blows 55-60*.. keeping it quite warm in the car still. So has anyone tried adding a second condenser and fan to the AC system? Or is there another way to make it blow any colder? It has a good freon charge, and i already added insulation around the lines to the evaporator..

I would actually suspect the a/c condenser on that one. The fins are probably bent so it works on the highway with wind blowing through but not at idle when the fans have to do the work.
