The first thing I would be concerned with is if the compressor is staying
running, if the suction pressure is dropping at hight rpm it may be
cylcing on the low pressure switch.  You could run a wire to the hot
leand on the compressor and to the cab with a  light grounded and you
would know when the compressor is calling.  I would then go from there if
it is running and still not cold.  Let us know from there and maybe we
can guide you along.  Would be helpful to know what pressures the high
ans low side are at idle and higher RPM??  Ed ke6bnl so.calif.
