do you know how the venom 400 works at all? because if YOU "stopped to do the research" and stopped looking at manufacturer's websites and believing everything they said you wouldnt have posted your useless and offensive post. so instead of reading all your prized information off the internet and thinking you know what your talking about try signing off and going outside and getting some real world experience.


and for mister fucking know it all, heres how your dream product works.

A.) it fools your car into thinking the throttle butterfly is more open then it is and your map reads more air then is really there thus letting it dump more fuel into the mixture and making you run much more rich then you should be because the air flow has not been altered at all. running rich looses power in case you didnt knwo that either.

B.) by thinking the butterfly is more open then it is your car's ecu goes into open loop mode sooner then it would and making you run rich. open loop mode runs rich by default for protection.

C.)during closed loop mode your O2 sensor also determines your fuel correctons along with the map sensor and tps sensor so this thing would have to modify the injectors output signal as well as the input signal. just modifing the map sensor and tps sensor would be picked up by obd2 computers and corrected. not to mention if it wasnt picked up it would still make you run rich and loose power.

D.) fact of the matter is it plain out just does not know what your mods are, nor how much air is really coming into your engine so it boosts the signals to what venom thinks they should be and totally disregards what corrections actually need made which in fact your ecu is very well capable of doing by itself.

oh by the way it cant "read your air fuel ratio" since it doesnt hook up to any O2 sensors and that is the only way to read it.

if you people want something like this thats usefull then buy a vafc or an safc. at least with that there is no guessing on whats going on and you can actually tune it for your own cars specific needs instead of having faith that some idiot like civicex99 working at venom is deciding how much your map and tps sensors voltage should be altered. sure and obd2 computer will learn these out to but pulling the fuse will correct that and you will still have your vafc setting that are for "YOUR CAR" not every car


if you have anything else to say smartass please do so because i would love to get into the specifics......i am so in the mood.

Whoa! I was trying to be not harsh - but you got the point across better than me
