Is it necessary to turn off the air conditioner on the track? I thought more serious people ran with the AC removed to reduce weight, and perhaps even a little bit of more horse power by not having to power the AC, but since neither of those are relevant at my level (non-competition trackdays) I'm much more happy with my AC on. ;-)
Now I've seen some older posts (10+ years old) elsewhere talking abut that having the AC on at high RPM's is bad for it (too much pressure?), and coolant may leak out too. Is this applicable to the current (2020+) Mustangs too? Some posts said the system automatically shuts off the AC at WOT. If so, does that avoid all problems?
I'm in a manual 2020 GT, and I try to mostly shift before 7,000 to hopefully prolong clutch/gearbox/engine life.
Thanks.
