38679, Venom 400 Performance
Posted by RSConversion, Dec-03-02 07:20 AM
Has anyone installed a venom 400 module? If so what was the performance increase like? Was it worth the money? If not what besides a header, intake, exhaust and plug wires might really help performance in the $25-$400 Range?

Its a POS dont buy it, its a joke
dyno has shown NO gain
and ive heard many people having problems with it after a while, its made poorly it seems and the connectors/components fail in the unit

Ok so the 400 is a POS, then what do you think a wise upgrade would be. Thanks for the help with venom module I woulda ended up wasting my money.

damn, you dyno'd 187 hp with only a header, intake, exhaust and plug wires?

get a S-AFC or nitrous :thumbsup

also of course:

underdrive crank pulley
port and polish your intake manifold
60mm Throttle body
above mentioned S-AFC

Don't forget: all these go fast mods will need a nice suspension to make the car really fun, and upgraded brakes to make the car safe :)

I wouldn't really go for nitrous unless you build up your motor to take the beating first. Unless you like to fix your car alot :D
