Default all the crap in front of the intercooler

So I ripped out the ac condensor and the trans cooler. Since my wife gets nautious from the ac. And I no longer have an auto in my truck the first thing I noticed was my egts dropped 200 degrees I guess what I really want to know is other then that what gains will I see if any

Dunno what part of Cali your in but I woulda left the ac intact not for the fact that it makes your wife puke but it aides in defrost/defogging the windows better and faster.

the only reason the ac compressor cycles when the defrost is on is to keep the compressor from seizing up over the winter months when it wouldnt be in use...

is there another reason jake why it would help defrost??

Dry air
That is correct.....
It pulls the excessive moisture out of the inside of the cab thus allowing the windows to stay fog free when the weather is inclement......

I also removed my ac condensor on my truck when installing my BD intercooler recently...my ac never worked anyway so i removed the pump, lines and condensor.. Got a huge egt drop from the combo of the new Intercooler and removing the condensor...
