Making the car run better in the Heat with the AC

Is there any little secrets you can do with a tune to make the car run better with in the heat, with the AC on?
down in vegas the car wants quite a bit more throttle input to get moving and seems lethargic.
Does anyone else experience this in the heat with the AC on.
I was thinking it can be fixed with better grounding, because it seems with the lights on/radio/AC the car wants to lazy as well...

When not on boost the car is a 2 liter motor with not much power. The AC compressor robs the engine of power and hence the lazy low power you are feeling.

All cars lose power with AC on. You can notice more on cars with smaller engines.

I figured that, I guess I posted in the wrong area it just doesn't seem as noticeable on friends cars...
I am going to try a grounding kit to see if it helps.

i dont see how a grounding kit will help this at all, but its because of the small liter of the engine.... it can be tuned to help on take off, like idle it up with the ac on....
