Yea, 15 HP is total BS. I do not feel my compressor cycle on or off at all, even at idle. I do have Griffith's infinite fan speed controller, and his temp control module. It has a LED to show me the AC compressor on or off. I can't have it at max cold all the time, or the evaporator will freeze up, even on hurricane fan speed on a 100+ degree day. I have to back the temp back off just a bit to make the compressor cycle.
After well over 100,000 miles and 17 years, I have never once under any condition felt a power loss from the compressor cycling on. I bet is is less than three HP at most. The factory OEM modern Denso rotary compressor is very efficient.
