Model Reviewed: 99 Eclipse Mitsubishi

Strength:

Massive power boost to the 40-60MPH acceleration range! Gives a nice reving sound to the engine.

Weakness:

Causes more wear to the stock engine. Can blow a stock engine or hurt an automatic transmission. Pours heavy amounts of gas onto your pistons causing them to work way past stock normal capabilities. Wires are a hoe to hide in the engine. Install time takes about 1 hr if your familiar with engines. 20 - 30 min if your specifically famillar with your engine. More than one hour installation time if you don't know what an intake manifold means is.

First off, performance! This thing gives a big overall performance boost under the hood. Its like nitrus for your computer system. Caution, can be hazardous to your engine, so be careful. What is ment by that? Well, if your a person who likes to occasionally impress the ladies by reving the engine and hauling a little ass then your okay; however, if your the kind of person who likes to speed around town and make a name for yourself then by all means, be prepared to drop another couple G'S into a new engine! A fair warning to those who are thinking about buying a Venom 400 module, it's a nice add on if your a person who just has to have the best, but if your looking for massive extra power, then focus on a new career so you can pay for this stuff... or start saving for a new engine so you can really impress your firends.

I've never used anything like this before. Like I stated above, its like nitrus for your electrical system and more specifically, your intake manifold.

My cars a standard and i feel no difference at all. Im selling the item to my friend with the same car in auto. I plan to get headers instead. Not to meantion the venom kills your gas milage. i went from 75% full to dead empty driving around an houre.

Model Reviewed: 1999 dodge ram 5.9 gas

Strength:

Great marketing claims, sounds like an easy increase in performance.

Weakness:

it just barely works. YOU CANT GET YOUR MONEY BACK.

Easy install, as advertised. When I purchased the product, the rep told me to remove battery terminal for 8 hours to cut power so that the computer would reset - did that. After doing a little research, I found out that the computer in the Ram was a slow learner,so I should give it a little time to reset with new info. After driving the truck for 13 days now , I have felt a reasonable boost in power in the 20-30 mph range, but not EVEN the 25% increase in HP that the company boasts. All other ranges have VERY little or no appretiable increase. Lets face it if there were even a 10% increase in peak HP,(25 horses in my case) you would feel that in the seat of your case. I called the factory and they stand behind their claim, and they told me that it probably wasnt connected correctly, and this and that..... lets face it, it's a electronic device that they will not offer a refund on, and I just got screwed.

Model Reviewed: 99/eclipse

Strength:

quick throttle response, opens up 1-5000 rpm range which is where most cars need the boost... its a smart part!

Weakness:

burns gas quick, doesnt provide power full range of rpm, and on/off switch should be inside car. a little bulky, hard to find the "perfect spot" for it without damaging it. instructions should be worded better and in a better format.

its a great addition in performance for any car! throttle increase, equals power faster and furious... this is a nice buy, and easiest install ever.. if you cant install this in ten minutes or less your dead...

Model Reviewed: 98 skyline gtr at workshops

Strength:

runs fast on roads and dirt with high power. quater mile time was 11.69 sec but now 09.78 sec with some extra mods

Weakness:

does not run as strong in the rain of its engine cools down then suddenly heats up causing it to slow down

this beast skyline gtr is the best for highpower cars.i got it at the wreckers and modified it myself with drag transmission, intercooler twice the normal size and twin-turbo, 5 inch muffler with role cage. no need for NOS cause my car don''t need extra power.
