Welcome to the club! A/C sucks the freakin life out of Zetec motors it seems, most guys just turn it off when leaving from a stop then switch it back on once in motion. I think someone else posted in another thread that underdrive pulleys help this on their car.

UDP seemed to noticeably reduce lag with the a/c on when I had it installed...the only difference being that when the car was idling or at a stoplight, the fan would slow a bit...but no noticeable issues with cooling while driving.

It's funny, I have the wifey trained to turn it off when I'm merging or passing. It's quite funny.

She yells NAWWWWS when she turns it off :lol:
