comptech SC owners w/o aftercooler
are you planning to get aftercooler?
im thinking for a long run adding AC will be better for your engine.
how long/miles did u have ur CTSC w/o AC and did you have any problems?
i believe boost drops with aftercooler (please correct me if im wrong) but for a long run SC with AC will performe better?
ill be running CTSC w/o AC with 7lbs pulley... thinking about getting AC or FMIC(i can get this done cheaper).
do i really need AC???????!!!!!!!
also would like to know hp difference between CTSH w/o AC and w/ AC.
thanks for reading and sorry about newb questions.

I run a CTSC on my AP1 without aftercooler with an AP2 pulley from comptech. When I dyno'd I was pushing 8 lbs of boost.
The car runs fine and I have been running this setup for almost a year here in socal.
304 HP to the wheels also.

In the winter I didn't notice much difference, but in the summer I did.
Throttle response was better with the AC and my butt dyno felt like it was a bit quicker. And I believe Comptech claimed an extra 10hp, despite the drop in boost; not 100% certain on that.
In the summer without the AC the intake tube was too hot to hold my hand on. With the AC I can easily hold my on the AC housing, which is luke warm.
Can't speak for engine life, but I'm glad I added it.
