Its nice to see that my idea had some merits. Even if someone beat me to it. I fully expected to have lots of holes shot into it and be flamed into submission. Thanks.

My 30hp is hearesay from another thread I read. It could be suspect info. But it takes SOMETHING - you can feel it drag on any new car. SOMETHING.

Well, when my Acura MDX with a 260hp engine is idling at a light, and if its slightly rolling - it will STOP rolling if the AC goes on. Thats quite a bit of drag on the engine.
