Default How is your hvac performing this summer?

This is the first year I will drive the TI during the summer in SW GA after my daughter gave it back.
I did replace the ac compressor with a used one and the pressures look great at 35 psi suction and 220 psi discharge at 92F outside temp.
However, it feels like when the car is in stop and go traffic, the supply vent temp is not as cold as when the car is going above 55 mph. I will put a thermometer on the vent and post back the temp.

I think the condensing capacity is reduced while idling. It seems like the radiator fan is not enough to cool the condenser or could there be air bypassing the condenser? Do I need a condenser fan between the grill and the condenser coil?

What is your ac supply vent temp when it is above 90F outside?
