Summary:
Fairly easy to install

Strengths:
Did seem to give a increase in Hp

Weaknesses:
Caused car to shift to a lower gear while driving down the road at a steady speed.

Price Paid:  $300.00 from autoanything

Summary:
Sets TPS to 75% at about 35% and increases progressively from there according to my laptop. Adds an offset voltage to your TPS so even though your actual throttle is at 35% your car is believing harder acceleration (your true throttle is not effected air in remains the same/ fuel amount increases). This is not a bad way to gain some lost hp due to the terrible ecofriendly factory settings.

Strengths:
Sooo easy. And it works good. A great way to get some fast hp without a lot of work. V6 and V8 only. V4s are already maxed out these days, it seems.

Weaknesses:
Get a fuel computer if you are serious and want control of the settings. It is a ton more hassle though. The venom will definetly not be as effective.

Summary:
AWESOME product that DEFINITELY makes a HUGE difference from off idle to full throttle. I also installed a Next Level Performance Tri-Phase IAT module. With both of these units working together (Tri-phase hooks up across the sensor lead of the IAT which still functions and remains installed) and the Venom 400 interfaces with MAF and TPS, the combination of the 2 units is unbeatable! Only a Supercharger and/or a turbo will beat these! Feels like additional; 25+ HP or more. TQ is also increased all over! DID lose 2-3 mpg, but WHO CARES? The power and the fun-factor is well worth the cost and mileage loss for sure!! I am STILL going to add my Jackson Racing Street Supercharger System shortly!

Strengths:
Noticeable HP and TQ increase; does exactly what Venom says it should do! I do not believe that this unit only fools car's ECM into giving full-throttle response. Fells like it does more!

Weaknesses:
Slight loss of fuel economy; well-worth it!

Tri-Phase IAT module. Other electronic tweaks. They ALL do work well together. WILL be adding a Supercharger as well!

Summary:
As far as budget is concerned, it is worth the bang for the buck to me. You could also dump 4 grand into a car for a supercharger that you may lose in a wreck tomorrow....atleast you have a chance in removing a chip to sale on eBay. Anywho, I gained alot of power from this chip in my V6.

Strengths:
Bang for buck, power in automatic vehicles.

Weaknesses:
Maybe 2-3 miles lost per gallon.

Similar Products Used:
WeaponR intake, Flowmaster exhaust, I used to have a jet chip....doesn't compare to the Venom 400.
