Is it possible that after installing my PowerFC, my ac feels cooler & radio is louder

It can't just be my imagination. I installed the powerFC this past weekend and my car feels so much smoother in every regard. Besides the fact that it's quicker, i feel that my stereo (stock bose with added 10" sub) seems to rock much harder and my AC feels cooler.

Can this be?

3k hesitation gone yes, what you describe is just the pleasure of having a Power FC resting your mind and you feeling generally more pleased in life leading to the things you mentioned.

1) Ok how about... the A/C could be colder if you set the fans to come on at a lower temperature. You remove more heat from the charge, when the car isn't moving and therefore it is colder.

2) The radio could be perceived as louder if something else was quieter. So if you A/C is colder maybe you rolled up the windows since you don't need them down to stay cool. As a result the radio seems louder!
