I didn't bypass the ac compressor, when the ac is off, I don't think it creates any more drag than an idler pulley.
Thanks for the input on detonation, I'll watch my timing to see what it does.. Did a temporary grill block to see how the car reacts.. To note I'm running a new rad, water pump and t-stat, all in the past 6 months. Only on the hottest days this summer did my fan come on.. a/c delete will be to get weight out only - I have no intentions of fixing it..
