zukgod1, I wonder if your tighter TC makes a difference?

Well yall did it to me! You made me do it after reading this thread. I was going to settle for a cheaper box but today i had to order the Edge Comp and i got a good deal on the box too. So soon i will be having as much fun as yall are having. Can't wait to be smoking like a train. Thanks again for making me spend more money!

I don't know if the wire has to be tapped or not. Only one way to find out I guess. I just unplugged my roommates map and we didn't notice much of a difference. Lots more smoke but not much bottom end. His is an 01 HO 6spd with mach 1.5's and a drag comp. Dynoed 401hp.

it does the same with an ez as the comp, maybe a little less smoke, but basically the same results, never tried it with a comp & no wire tap, but I would imagine it should do the same as the ez. I also have only done this to 5 & 6 spd. trucks, don't know about the results of doing it with an auto??

i did it tongiht with my 6spd...same as everyone else, LOTS of smoke, no codes or check engine lights, and maybe a little kick in the pants when you first touch the throttle but its a little harder to drive smokeless with it unplugged.
i love that in neutral or with the clutch pushed in, you can rev it from idle and a big long puff just comes barrelling out. will be fun to mess with some guys in parking lots with that. but i think for the street i will leave it plugged in as i do not wanna smoke too much and get pulled over by The Man in Blue

The unplug mod does produce more bottom end on my truck. It also kicks the 236 code (map sensor to high to long). Will this hurt anything? If not I believe Ill leave it unplugged for a while.

Anyone notice how different the engine sounds at low rpms? Mine sounds alot different. Also I have a noise that sounds like the engine is missing on the freeway, about 1900 rpm in 5th gear, when I put a slight load on the motor. Anyway with the comp unplugged the noise is all but gone. Maybe I have a bad map sensor. Definately has more smoke.

Okay, I had to try it, my Comp is un-tapped and with unplugging the map the power now comes on smoother and the throttle response is definatley improved, but the greatest part of all is the pretty cloud I get when hittin it from a dead stop I even get some smoke from roll if im low enough in the rpms, thanks for the tip it definatley works.
