How hard do you blow??? (a/c)

Your A/C that is....

My mechanic converted my A/C system to the updated kind 130??? I forget exactly what it's called. The A/C on setting "4" is only blowing equal to about the second setting on my old Toyota. It blows pretty cold, just not hard. It has a Haltech which I don't know if that makes any difference. Any insight on this???

My FD AC blower has ALWAYS been weaker than either my ex Toyota 4Runner or current Trailblazer. Blower force shouldn't have anything to do with your refrigerant type, that will only affect how cold it gets.
You didn't specifically say that it was weaker than it used to be...but I assume it must be or you wouldn't have posted. Does it seem weak across the board or is setting 4 about the same as 2 and 3, etc?
