no. i would start letting off past 240.

Pauly 06-22-2012 12:59 PM

are oil temps staying just a bit cooler with a/c on? or is it just my imagination...

kenchan 06-22-2012 01:05 PM

hummm... usually when a car over heats you'd turn the heater onto full blast.

Pauly 06-22-2012 01:10 PM

ha, shows what i know? maybe i was just driving a bit easier at the time. i see your point. no way im blasting the heat though, oh man!

kenchan 06-22-2012 01:14 PM

ive heard about the a/c thing, but not sure how effective that really is.

The bonus power with a/c off is nice, but I really just want to hear it :tup: and the scalding Texas summer breeze is apparently worth it :ugh2:

same here. heh, the irony... turn on a/c (lose power) to avoid the issue of "losing power" from slightly higher temps. rofl

Living in this hell hole called tx. And having had traditional CAI's on most of my cars. And 4 cars owned in Tx. The best prevention for hotter air from entering the intakes in the summer are the intake hoses. Your car takes a lot longer to bog down than with classic intakes. Power is a little less but more linear when paired with high quality filters like K&N.
