I always wait for oil press. to go all the way up before actually driving her, should I wait until the temp registers a little instead?
And also, I know that using the AC effects the perfomance of a car, but my car seems like it gets a NOTICABLE decrease when driving and switching the AC on. She also seems a little jumpy when the AC is on.

Mods- cattles TBE, SPT SRI, Cobb OTC stg2 map. Thanks dudes and dudettes. Z
Clean your MAF and the IAT probe on it.Any 4 cylinder is going to have a noticeble decrease in power when using the A/C due to the parasitic drag created by the compressor and extra electrical system drain.
