I suppose, but I was always told that the a/c uses 10 HP right off the top of the performance.

The A/C is used for the power chiller to cool the intercooler. Under full throttle, the A/C turns off so it doesnt rob HP, it also extends the life of the A/C compressor and you get cooler IAT temps due to the cooler intercooler temps.

Nope. Only the After Run Cool Down feature is shared. Fancy way to say the intercooler pump runs and the cooling fan stays on high for upto 5 mins after the car is shut off.
