Strengths:
If your airfuel ratio is lean in theory it should level it out causing hp gains.

Weaknesses:
If your airfuel ratio is rich or at a good operating level then it could make your car run rich or richer. As result you may experiance performance losses

Summary:
I have not bought this product but for those of you who don't no exactly what it dose i will explain. It takes the output signal from the map sensor and uses it to control a transistor. This allows the current entering the venom module to be limited to a level that corosponds to the airflow rate. Then the signal is sent from the module to the tps sensors return to be sent to the ecu. This signal then tells the ecu to add more fuel obviously. So it actually dose have a good theory behind it in that it will increase hp if the airfuel ratio was lean before. But if the airfuel ratio was not lean before then it will cause your car to run rich. To truly monitor this module install an airfuel gauge.

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.

Summary:
Fairly easy to install

Price Paid:  $300.00 from autoanything

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:
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:
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!

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!

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