Your right on the AC dragging down your HP, if I recall back when 3 or 4 drive belts were being used on cars, each belt accounted for a 12 HP drop, I could be wrong. People use to remove the smog pump belt, and the AC belts for added HP.

Still cooling the fuel before it entered the chamber, or the air before it entered the intake would increase HP alot, maybe even enough to offset the hp drag from the ac.
