power button vs 2nd button on console (1 Viewer)

[romp]

what do these buttons do?

 

[Funner]

Power button allows higher rpm shift points on the tranny. The 2nd sets the transmission to start off in 2nd gear rather than first. Good for low traction take offs.

power makes it upshift a little laterm downshift a little sooner and in general improves driveability IMHO especially with larger tires, 2nd starts in 2nd gear nice when in 4 low in certain situations

the power button engages the super charger. think of it like mad max's red button on the shifter.

 

[scrowley]

Since larger tires I always leave the pwr button on. No difference in MPG FYI.

thanks-- my super charger is kicked on by another switch...and
I will use that 2nd switch this week now that I know what it is for.

Could someone be a little more specific of the location of the '2nd' button or post a pic? I dont seem to see it in my 94 but that would really be useful.
