Torque Converter Lock Points

This adjustment modifies the speed in MPH when the transmission torque
converter locks and un-locks. For example, a negative value setting will
lock the Torque Converter at a lower speed. The Torque Converter is
designed to act as a fluid coupling or clutch, and multiplies torque from
the engine to the drivetrain. When the lock-up clutch is locked, 100% of
the power is transferred through the Torque converter by locking the
impeller and the turbine together inside the Torque converter.
(Hint: Locking the converter at a lower speed may help reduce transmission fluid
temperatures, and improve fuel economy, if you are a conservative driver. When adjusting
the transmission shifting points, it is always a good idea to adjust the corresponding
Torque Converter lock and unlock points to maintain the correct relationship between the
transmission shifts and the converter lock/unlock.)

Speed Limiter

The Speed Limiter adjusts the top speed of the vehicle. Factory speed limit
values are generally based on the tolerances of the powertrain components.
This feature is intended for use only in a closed circuit, legally-sanctioned
racing environment. Even if racing in a legally-sanctioned environment, it is
your responsibility to ensure your tires and other vehicle components are
rated to travel at increased speeds with the speed limiter removed/adjusted.
If you drive on public roads after removal or adjustment of
WARNING
the speed limiter, you must still obey all driving laws, including adhering to
posted speed limits. To drive at racing speeds on public roads seriously
endangers you, your passengers, and others nearby. Driving at high speeds
with inadequate tires or other components can lead to serious or fatal injury.
CAUTION: Removing/adjusting the speed limiter for purposes inconsistent
with the product's intended function violates the product's intended use and
will invalidate the product's warranty. Edge Products is not responsible for
or liable for the consequences of improper product use.
(Hint: This value may be lowered in fleet situations or situations where young drivers
are present.)

Timing Adjustment

This adjustment modifies the "high load" timing. Based on the octane rating
of the fuel used, Edge provides a minor range of timing adjustment to prevent
engine damage from detonation, most likely to occur under high load
conditions. If you are using less than 91 Octane fuel or are concerned about
detonation you may use this feature by decreasing timing by increments of
0.5 counts per adjustment to prevent detonation. Note that this adjustment
