Are you talking about like top speed or acceleration? You need to be a little for specific.

Get on a dyno and do runs with each setup...

Take good notes...

But remeber, the AC compressor shuts off automatically at WOT, so figure that out too...

OK!
here is the story.
I NEED TO DO A SCIENCE PROJECT
I am going to do it on how, Heater and A/C effects the speed of the car.

for the experiment I will warm up the car the first time, and run it and time it with nothing on.

second time, i will put it on full A/C and run it and tiem it

also same for the Heater.

and I am going to find out how much of a difference it makes.
Dyno is like ****in 90$..
hell no i aint spending that money for my damn school project.
shiet i got a exhaust to buy
and I was asking you guys for informations like how HEATER works (need website for resorces) and how A/C works (need website for resorces)

and why cooler engine runs the car faster and why heated engine runs the car slower.

and blah blah blah..
hope i went to enough details for ya

alright, that makes a whole lot more sense than what you originally typed. I'll try and find some stuff for you. One question, are you talking about top speed or acceleration?

I'm guessing.....no!?
Sounds like there will be lots of unaccounted for variables....like: inconsistant driver, for starts.

That and we already know why a cooler engine is faster than a warm one, and we know that running with the AC compressor on will make you slower...
