umm... right so your heater was on and it lost what 20-30 horses??
Anywhoo.. while I was reading I would think it would just be the stock clutch wearing which is good because you have one coming in the mail.. Other than that I don't see really any problems in the near future as long as the install was graaaaavyy.. which it sounds like it was.
And yea at night it should pull harder due to colder air..
best of luck with it, keep it up..

eh i wouldnt say it was 20-30, mostly just felt like it was a load on the engine more or less, which it ended up being lol. imma test it again tm since it will be a little warmer than it has been lately just to make sure though, im not taking nething for granite lol.

Sorry man, that still doesn't sound right. I can crank my heat to full blast, and still rip the tires as if I didn't turn the heat on. It doesn't Kill power THAT much..
