I actually didnt even know Comp mode existed until I saw this thread! I was searching for how to leave AH on with TC off as when I hit the button it clearly turned everything off which seemed dumb to me. I want some wheel spin but I like the idea of the computer being able to try to save my dumb *** if I do something stupid. Just now learning about this comp mode is like an early xmas gift

I agree, it seems dumb that you can get to "ALL OFF" so easily with one button press, it should be the other way around - AH is clearly the most important feature and should be the last thing and most difficult thing to turn off, with the button hold for 5 seconds serving as a sort of "are you SURE about this?"

Holy Old Thread Bump Up!!!

Have to agree, I didn't know about Comp mode either, guess I didn't dig into the Manual enough. Explains the "fall on its face" 1-2 shift I've experienced a few times lately...I was worried it was fuel or spark related.
