Ok Ok
I may have exagerated when I said I could not pass a car. Heres the deal I was driving about 60mph there was this 1st gen Tiburon and this ****er had more power than me I could not beat this a-hole to get over. With my air off I could easily smoke him. With my air on I run 0-60 in about 16sec that is much slower than my car usually is. I got the plugs check today they are fine.

Wow... well i dont think that has to do with your A/C. You might want to check the condition of your plugs and wires because that could be sapping some hp if they are not functioning 100%. Also where you get your gas and what gas you use can make a big difference.

EDIT: Although your A/C might be contributing to the power loss i think there is more to it.
wow, um no. Its a n/a I4 sohc motor, the ac is like its kryptonite

according to weather.com, its a low of 79 and a high of 102 all week in palm springs.
with 37 percent humidity.

you know in minneapolis it was 104 with 93 percent humidity 2 days ago?
So-cal has fantastic weather. desert weather. heat is easy, humidity is hard.
