Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Upgrading to a Edge comp...

[Milo Pig]

Is the Edge "HOT" Comp worth the extra money over the regular Comp?



Thanks,

Sean

go drag comp

if it were me, and i am going to do this, i would go with the drag comp, its going to offer you a little more power and also wont defuel on ya.

You're going to be needing a clutch real soon with the injectors and a tapped pump wire. Better figure it into the plans so we don't hear about your clutch woes in a month.



Are you looking for big HP? If not, then for the money I'd consider a Smarty from Marco to replace your EZ with.

Check the classifieds here too pretty good deals on edge comp's

The clutch will be my next journey. Right when you get happy you still have to put another grand in her



Right now I am leaning toward the Drag Comp. Still want to hear more opinions though.

I was in the same boat, I thought it wasn't worth the upgrade until my regular comp went out. It was out of warranty so I decided what the hell and upgraded to a drag. They say its not any more hp. but it sure feels like it. If I had known it was going to be that better of a box I would have went with a Drag from the get go.



I used to pull 32 lbs of boost now I can hit 34-36. I know boost isn't hp but I know its more fuel due to the fact of more boost.



It smokes more then the old comp and the EGT's are higher.



The best thing about the drag is it will pull hard until 3200 rpm.



Plus I have beat a TST 9 stage and a Blue Box so that right there is worth it.

What's the difference between the hot comp and the drag comp?

 

[AFarmer]

Drag version doesn't de-fuel whereas the comp defuels at 2700. Trust me, you can tell the difference when you're trying to get a truck to ET or trying get that last foot with the sled behind you.

What's the difference between the hot comp and the drag comp?

Nothing they are the same thing.

Yep!I just upgraded my Comp to the Drag and today I tried it for the 1st time in 5x5 and holy**** does it run now boys! Like Solomon said I used to hit 42 in 5x5 and today it was like 47lbs of boost. I think I better adjust the wastegate a little cuz I think that was even with winter blend!I cant afford to pop this thing! :--)
