A/C and WOT

A/C is a drag, literally, but I'm not sure if it has to do with my pulleys. It's great when A/C is off, but throttle response lags so bad 2nd gear feels like 5th gear acceleration at some point. Plus, accelerating in 1st feels like launching in 2nd.

the other day some guy in a cobalt revved at me, so I figured i'd do a spirited run up to the speed limit of course, which was 50, ol' Roxy epicly failed. I dont think this car likes running with the AC on or high oil temps. The car just feels extremely weak in the lower revs with the AC on, when I'm driving with it off, I can feel a night and day difference in low end torque. I do however, like my exhaust note at idle when the AC is on, kinda burbly.

Ditto... it bogs easily. I don't recall the 350Z having this issue other than the A/C compressor growl (replaced under warranty from TSB). I'm still running on a stock tune, but the 370Z definitely begs to be force fed.
