How much HP does the Air Conditioner Use?

Has anyone dyno'd with & without the A/C running?

I was thinking it would be in the range of 1-4 hp. Anyone care to comment?

i would say more than that, just because you can feel the drain on the car, 1-4hp wouldnt be noticable.

Just make a run at the track with it on. That will tell you how much it kills you. I may try it if i get a chance tonight.

Well several portable air conditioners are rated at about 10,000 BTU / hr which should be somewhere around 4hp. Not sure if the Z air conditioner uses more or less than this...

Just curious if anyone knows for sure.
