Edge Comp question

[jweir]

OK you Edge Comp guru’s, here is a question for you.



There has been discussion about leaving the pump tap wire off when installing the Comp until drive train upgrades are made. Most everyone agrees that this would be OK. So what about putting a switch in the pump tap wire, essentially making or breaking the circuit- switch on, you have a fully functional Comp, switch off- you have the equivalent of an EZ.



Would this work? If it works, could the switch be “switched” with the key on and the engine running? Or would this damage the ECM. Maybe just switch with the key off.



Let me know what you think. I don’t want to get the “bad reputation” that the guy in Texas got for leaving his pump tap wire off!!!!!



(Sure hope he doesn’t feel obliged to drive CLEAR up here to Oregon to kick my hiney! )

the comp already has the switch built in. if you leave it in level 1 it's not using the pump wire, if you turn it up above 1 you have the pump wire.

Jim,



you don't need a switch, it's already on the box! Leave it in the lower settings and you and your transmission will be fine. 1/5 setting is the same as an EZ.



Don't worry about Andrew, I'm sure you can take him, ask his girlfreind she'll tell ya

Level 1

Jim,



At that level 1, do you have the sublevels to adjust "when" the power comes in, or am I misunderstanding how the Comp works without the pump wire?



I was under the impression that without the pump wire, you still had some adjustment as to "when" the power came in, but it would not add "more" power than the EZ.





Thanks,



Jim

You got it right, when yes, more no (without the wire)

Glenn,



Thanks for the info, I will quit trying to "out think myself"



I was hopin' that I could run faster scared than Andrew can run mad if he gets up here!

IT already has the switch built in!

The only reason to leave the wire off, is if you don't trust the wild-man under the wheel. :-laf

Jim,



Your probably safe, I think the bullseye on me by now... ... ...

 

[jweir]

Wildman?

Hmmm...



NOPE, no wildman here... ...



(I can see my transmission trembling now )





Glenn,



If he gets too mean just ask him who is MAN enough to hook up the pump wire!
