As an example, I had my stock 2001 Blazer's engine computer reflashed by wait4meperformance.com to shut off a/c for 30 seconds whenever the throttle is >80% (and then re-engage the a/c even if throttle remains depressed >80%, not that I can think of many circumstances that would call for 30 seconds of heavy throttle like that) - I had a few other changes made in there of course as well, but that was the one relevant to this thread.

Thanks for the insight
Hmm.... maybe my Camaro could do this as well. It's a 2000, and has basically the same LS1 as the Corvette, but I'm not sure about the PCM. Do you know any cars that do it from the factory, though (and for an MPG boost instead of a power boost)? Like I said, I think certain newer Civics do it, but I'm not sure what years or what other cars out there have this feature.
