VENOM High-Performance Poison For Your Vehicle

Venom 400 Control Module

Drive Type: 2wd

The Venom 400 Performance Control Module is an add-on control unit that features its own micro-controller. This module is connected to the vehicle's sensors and increase engine performance by monitoring the sensors output characteristics and modifying the input to the existing vehicles computer.

The Venom 400 improves horsepower by as much as 25% through the range of approximately 1,000 to 5,000 RPM. Besides a substantial increase of torque, the Venom 400 reduces flat spots or delay time during sudden acceleration.

The Venom 400 incorporates an 8-bit micro-computer that is capable of monitoring the various sensor inputs and modifying their output at more than 40 times per second. If you already have installed a performance prom, the Venom 400 will enhance the vehicle's performance beyond the parameters set by the performance prom.

The Venom 400 constantly monitors the vehicle's throttle position sensor (TPS) and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) or mass air sensor (MAS). When air flow entering the engine and the throttle position sensor reaches a predetermined level, the Venom 400 is activated. The Venom 400 then enters a strategy of sense and modify. It senses the sensor values, interprets them, then modifies them to increase performance. The existing on-board computer senses the modified values and increases fuel flow, modifies the ignition spark curve and transmission shift points (on automatics only). Once the sensor valves return to normal mode, the Venom 400 switches back to sense only mode until conditions again warrant the high performance mode.

The Venom 400 is only active when peak performance is required. During normal driving the Venom 400 remains passive until the microcomputer determines that engine airflow and throttle position warrants increased performance. Normal fuel economy prevails while under normal load.

Enhances the performance gains achieved by installing an upgraded chip. Whatever the gains are as specified within the chip, they will be magnified through the use of the Venom 400.

The Venom 400 will not trigger the emission safeguards of today's vehicles.

The Venom 400 has an off switch so smog certification is achieved when not racing.

Up to 25% or more increase in horsepower throughout the power range of 1,000 to 5,000 RPMs (where the vehicles red line is 6,000 RPM)

The flat spot or delay found with automatic transmission downshifts, which can be as much as three seconds, is eliminated.

Venom 400 works equally well with automatic or manual transmissions.

The Venom 400 will not damage existing vehicle electronics and no modifications to the existing electronics are necessary.

HP & Torque: Up to 25% increase

Installation: Easy installation in 20 -30 minutes with basic hand tools requiring only four electrical connections. Note:The Venom 400 requires no modifications to existing engine components and can be completely disabled at the flip of a switch, restoring performance back to original equipment specifications.

Sounds like "Snake oil" to me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Garbage. This was discussed a long time ago on FSC. The conclusion was junk and not at all what was promissed.
