Better performance with AC on?

Floridian heat has sapped a butt dyno estimated 20hp from my car, compared to driving it in Philly. Whats odd, is that recently I've been driving it with the air conditioning on, and it feels like I have more torque.

The supercharger kit is very ambient temp sensitive with how the car feels. Its not decreasing in performance with time (heat soak), but feels stronger or weaker with as little as a 10* temperature variance.

I've heard some 911 turbos run faster with the AC on, because of how the AC lines are routed. Could it hold true for the Z4M also, or am I just being crazy?
