I agree, a pusher will probably do the trick... I'm in Atlanta with 95-100
degree temps and I have to sit a good while with the AC maxxed out in Rush
hour traffic to get to 210 degrees. I'm thinking of adding a pusher and a
bigger Alternator (for my stereo and other stuff) just for the extra
comfort.

Instead of changing, try adding a pusher in front of the condenser to turn
on
when extra boost is needed. MB has done this for years and so has other
veichles.
