Default Simple Oil/Filter change now very slow pickup

I changed my oil today and after i did i took it for a drive and it is slow as **** coming off the stop light. I floored it and it was just very slow compared to what is used to be. I used a ph16 fram filter with 10w 30 motor oil and this is correct. I had the air conditioner goin full bore while driving but that shouldnt have that much of an effect on it.

The AC chokes off more power than you think. Turn it off and see if that makes the difference.
