Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Comp Box Install

[seagrave2001]

Well guys I got my Comp Box installed and I must say what a difference. I didn’t hook up the pump wire being I have an auto stock transmission, but you can still notice a big improvement. I can only imagine what the 120HP feels like. I’ll find that out when I get my transmission upgraded after the box is paid off and get some rust spots fixed under the driver side door.



Overall the complete install took about a hour & 1/2 . The hardest part was getting wires through the firewall because I already had my egt, boost & pyro installed through there and I had to take my time to enlarge the hole and not cut any wires or tubing. Then the 2 connections to the sensors were fun to get hooked back up (being double jointed would have helped a lot). From reading all the posts I ran the ground directly to the battery. Overall I was very surprised how easy the install went.



So I went for a test drive and noticed the difference on level one, so I put it up to 5 and got on it and saw a small cloud of smoke which brought a huge smile to my face… :-laf :-laf Now I just keep it on 1 just to get a little power on the interstate and to see if it will help out with fuel mileage…

Glad to hear your install went well and you're enjoying your Comp. That smoke cloud is good for a smile every time. :-laf Like you said though, careful before the transmission upgrades.

GJ John,



Dont worry about that transmission ..... I ran tapped and 3x3 All the time for about 10,000 and played on 5x5 once a week ..... transmission was OK with it



Tap it with a Posi-Tap and start saving for transmission upgrades
