Killed a Talon running 19lb of boost
I was running home with my friend in the car and we see a little ricer pulling out of a gas station so i slow down and wait for him to ctach up. He pulls up beside me and then goes WOT before i can even downshift. I find him at the next light and we go. I pull maybe 1 car before the next light. Next light i pull a little more. Then he pulls up to me and we chat alittle. Then i had to tell him that his engine was smoking. So we say goodbye and i then relie i had the A/C on the whole time. All in all good race and i liked the guy.

Yeah we chatted at the lights and told each other our mods. I was thinking he would be faster than me but i ended up beating him out each time.

Boost pressure alone means nothing -- you've got to be flowing air (CFM) to make power. No matter what's under the hood, you're going to have to burn the same amount of air and gas to make a given amount of power. So, 19 psi on an otherwise stock car is nothing near what 19 psi makes on a car with real mods.
And I'd hope that the Camaro, like every other modern vehicle, automatically kills the AC compressor at WOT...

Maybe it does shut off but there cold air still coming through the vent? Im sorry you guys got offended by my novice mistake about something i never heard of.
