A/C Issue

So got an issue with wifes fit...
ac is great at idle
when driving not so good (or revving to 2k rpm)

See attached pics...
I tested it and this is what i found, outside temp was 88*F
With a/c off, the low pressure side was @145psi (don't know if that high or right)??

At idle, ac on, fan on high, recirc vent closed, low side pressure was 36 psi, that was able to achieve 33*F after just a few mins.
When doing the same but with recirc vent open that was only able to get to 55*F
and at idle the outside core in front of the rad was reading at 108*F

When reving the car to 2,000 rpms, ac on, fan on high, recirc vent closed, low side pressure was 46 psi, and that was able to achieve 28*F after just a few mins also.....
But the low pressure would drop to about 20 psi and the compressor would kick off for about 5 seconds then re-engage.

So what do you guys think is the root cause of this, cus dam it some cold a** ac at idle but driving the shit sucks... I know it sucks cus that backwards and should work better when driving
