Would Edge Comp be beneficial?

Ok I am debating on selling my EZ and getting a comp, but I have a few questions.
1) Is it a mess to tap into the VP44 or can it be done "ops" style so that it can be removed for warranty purposes?
2) Does it maintain beneficial mpg levels as long as you don't have it on 5x5?
3) Will the stock clutch hold up and will banjos be sufficient for fuel flow?
4) What improvements are there over the EZ?
5) Will I need to upgrade anything besides what I have in my sig.?
6) Am I looking at multiple LP failures?

I would go for it, I got a pump cover from blue chip, that way i was able to pierce the wire, when i had warreny work done, i removed the cover and put the stock one back on and the dealer had no idea. Get a fuel pressure gauge to monitor it, you should be fine though if you have a strong lift pump. 5x5 might be a bit to much power for the clutch, but dirving around on 3x5 should be just fine

I have had mine for almost 2 months now, and still cannot get the smile off of my face!!
For Q1, recite the following - I am my own warrenty station, repeat, repeat
Q2 - All depends on how the right foot reacts to the new found power, mine has gone down, but smoke has increased exponentially
Q3 - Probably not, and hopefully one of those gauges in for fuel pressure, keep an eye on it. I will be adding a pusher pump to aid in maintaining higher pressures
Q4 - More power, more smoke, adjustability on the fly
Q5 - All depends on how hard you run it
Q6 - No more than normal

Enjoy, it definately deforms the facial muscles for a while!!

anyone know the reliability of these boxes? I know my first Edge EZ crashed within 3 months. I am looking at a used comp but it is out of warranty.

Don't know about his but HOHN seems to be actively trying to trash his clutch, and is not having a whole lot of luck...

B.R.Ram,

FWIW, my stock clutch is holding up well with RV275's and the Comp on 5x5 - though, I'm not sure why (I would have thought the 275's would have pushed the clutch over the edge) ......after owning a Comp for awhile, I see no reason or benefit to bother with an EZ.

You could always keep the Ez and stack it with a TST PM3 or a Bluechip box
