Has anyone ever tried the Venom 400 performance control module in there V6 bird or camaro? Does it work good? Cuz I might want to buy it.

 

What does this thing do? Where does it go? I haven't heard of it...

it increases horse power by 25% from 1000 to
5000 rpm with throttle postion sensor and upgrades your ecu it also states that you will lose 1-3 mpg thats just what i read sounds good but i wonder how much it also come with a performance chip i think dont quote me on it though it says it also works with a chip you already have thats all i know

 

Hm. I did some poking- http://www.donet.com/~sps/tech/free_performance.html

Reminds me of the Casper Electronic's box. How much is this Venom 400 anyway?

I'm not sure I think it runs around $300. I think I might give it a try and buy it.

 

91TransformedBird, did you read the page that TomP was so good as to provide a link to? Why would you buy this thing if this page is anywhere close to accurate?

 

Yeah that Venom sounds like a rip off from what that link says. And I must say an effective way to get a marginal increase in response is putting in an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I have noticed that in some instantces that my car hesitates, and the fuel pressure drops from the low factory pressure regulator settings

 

Sorry wasn't even paying attention to it just read it....dang I guess that answer's my question then...I sure as heck wont buy it.

 

I did notice, though, that when I did the search, a lot of people had the Venom unit listed as their mods. However, they didn't review the thing; that was the only site I found with anything useful about the module. Maybe someone can do another search?

It almost sounds like a mod you do when you run out of things to do. $300 could buy Camaro_hunter's idea of the AFPR, and you'd have $220 left for other things...
