so just want to clarify, my readings are currently where they're supposed to be, temp is getting cold like it should, only question i have is when i rev up the motor the compressor kicks off for a couple seconds,than on for a couple seconds and so on, at idle it stays on. Is it supposed to do this? Can anyone go turn there ac on and rev the motor and see if the compressor kicks on and off? thanks everyone

At idle it should pretty much run constantly. At higher rpm, it should indeed cycle. So long as outlet temps remain pretty stable, all is as it should be.

It cycles as temp and pressure vary.
