Venom 400

[little x]

Ok, first off, don't tell me to do a search. I did that and there hasn't been a post on this subject in the last 4 years. All previous posts are some what like this one: ie does this thing work?

Previously no one who posted has tried this. Some one said it worked great in Camero's. Someone else said it didn't do $hit in a Probe.

Does it work on an X? The main reason I'm curious is I have a lot of mods, so I would need a custom chip, and those run $100-$200 more then this modual.

So: has anyone tried it out in the last 4 years?

I would think that the spark advance alone maybe worth it, since no one makes an ignition controle modual for our trucks. And I think it would be nice to have a programer that only engages when I mash the throttle, instead of alwayse burning more gas, like a chip would.

BTW, my engine mods are: Cold air snorkel, K&N filter, Vortech MAF, BBK TB, 20 over bore, teflon coated pistons, Compcam's 410 camshaft, Compcam's dual valve springs, Smith bro's custom pushrods, Bocsh fuel injectors, Pacesetter headers, Dynomax 2.25" cat-back, 200 amp alt, big-3 wire upgrade, and removed AC.

bump? anyone?

i would not do. i read 52 reviews and it seems like it only works on 4 banger stock engines. one guy put his car on a dyno and he actually lost 1hp. i would save up for a nos kit they cant cost too much more $300 and nos has been proven to work

littlex- the votech mass air flow senor you have is the 73mm correct? i was thinkin about gettin this to increase air flow since the stock on is only 55mm. But does it work on stock injectors or aftermarket? and does it do anything?

 

[little x]

Yes, 73 mm. It uses the stock sensor. I am running aftermarket injectors, but they are still 19 lbs (stock size) they just have a finer spray. So your injectors will be fine. Just the MAF by itself won't do much if anything. But when you use a BBK throttle body and the MAF it really adds quite a bit of umph. More so then just the TB.

ok thanks man, right now i have a full k/n custom intake, 66mm bbk, hollowed cats, and flowmaster 2 1/2" exhaust. I want to add a asp crank pulley, 73maf, and heddman headers...i think with those mods and my 4.56s ill be gettin up to speed pretty good

You have all that air flow possibility, and a small little bottle-neck MAF, it will def. help you out a lot.

When you hollowed your cats did you notice a big loss in low end? I'm considering doing this, but I'm afraid of power loss at low rpm's.

I have 4.56's sitting on the floor 7 feet behind me, I can't wait to get them in!

the only reason i hollowed my cats is because they were dead, i really didnt feel a difference, but it sounds a hell of alot better, and i still have a ton of back pressure.

4.56 gears are soo nice when i got these i also got new beefier l/s in the front and rear, these made a huge differnece, when turning right or left at a stop sign all you have to do is mash the gas and itll kick the rear.. hell i can almost do donuts on DRY pavement(my performance goal haha)
