Re: AC compressor effecting 1/4 time?
Every track I've ever been to will give you the boot for having the A/C on. It will drip water onto the starting line, and cause massive problems for you and the next couple guys who run. So make sure it's OFF.
As for the effect on 1/4. No it doesn't have any effect. A WOT condition set in the computer causes it to disengage the A/C compressor clutch. It comes back on it's own after it see the go pedal lifted.
Now if it were broken and STUCK on, then thats a different story...

Well its not stuck on, its just that it's like the AC clutch is allways sticking, causing my belt to squeel. I would never go down the track with the AC on either.

Yea I would guess maybe a couple mph's. You might not want to do this but I know some people just take the damn belt off. Make sure you have a good battery though. I'm sure this doesn't help just my 2 pennies.

Are you sure that the pulley isn't moving? The A/C clutch, when disengaged does not move, only the shell where the belt actually rides spins, so it may give the illusion that it isn't moving. Take a closer look. What you decribe pretty much never happens.

Re: AC compressor effecting 1/4 time?
my understanding is the clutch is SUPPOSED to occasionally engage to keep the bearings from going back. But not that frequently. You could do what i did - just unplug the compressor then it will never engage.
