Luckily it's cooled off here in Phoenix so I can take my time to get this figured out.
UPDATE: After reading more about the issue on the forums, decided to contact a respected indy shop nearby. He fully charged the system and told me to keep an eye on it. He also replaced the shreader valves. That was a month ago and the A/C still blows colder than I ever remember.
