lol all it does is put less load on the motor(less belt load can , in theory, allow a motor to have a longer life since it works less.) but otherwise just a weight reduction.
Punctuation is your friend... that hurt my head. The intakes feel different because they make power in different places. Cam gears really won't give you much power, they're kinda just there for higher tuneability, but could net you a couple more, nothing ridiculous though. Every car and build is different so we cannot tell you specifically how to advance and retard them, that's something you or a shop will have to do through trial and error. And what about crx struts?i removed my powersteering belt and ac belt feels like it i a little faster not much feels more free i guess but i just changed my intake from cold air to short ram intake sounds louder feels a little different does anyone know how much hp i can gair on cam gears and how to advance them the right way and im looking for 1984- 87 crx struts front and back hit me up
If you're going to delete those two, then it should be part of a larger process of weight reduction, imoYour thinking of parasitic loss. Whatever your base hp is when these are active (a/c is on or your steering through a parking lot). When you turn your steering get wheel with PS or have the a/c on ever noticed your revs drop slightly for a few seconds. That's the only time your losing power. The weight of these items is the only thing affecting performace. The parasitic loss of hp is very very small you would never notice it. Keep the a/c and PS unless it's strictly a race vehicle (street racing for does not count no glory there)
I disagree on the A/C, it's a continuous power sucker, when it's on I lose responsiveness and "power" in every gear and RPM. P/S is a matter of opinion IMO, I like it without it because the feeling of the road is more present from my experience. I don't think I gained any power from removing it though.Your thinking of parasitic loss. Whatever your base hp is when these are active (a/c is on or your steering through a parking lot).

Yes with a/c engaged is a continuous parasitic drain. Should have mentioned that lol. Focused to much on PS. When a/c is on the revs will drop and correct. But,the power loss will continue until a/c is turned off. You'll be nice and cool though 8)I disagree on the A/C, it's a continuous power sucker, when it's on I lose responsiveness and "power" in every gear and RPM.
