This test is a fail for several reasons.

#1. Holding the temp gun right in the stream of the cold AC makes the reading artificially lower.

#2. Its 70 degs, but what was the humidity?

#3. When its really hot at stop lights, I sometimes rev the engine to 1200 rpm to get some better AC.

Please revise your experiment and show us a AC manifold hooked up and before and after pic with the pressures.:dance:
Really!!!!

OK, here is the new result:

A/C works just fine at this end as well.... custom made 4"UD (same as the other stuff) ran for the last 24 months + no issue.

5HP? wouldn't be surprised its a tad more than that

Just had a Mantis 5"installed a couple of days ago. I think I can feel a difference in the 3 to 5 k rpm range.
