You won't waste your money, because you will be the first one to tell us.

LOL. NO. morales800a misspelled "module" with "modulator"


VENOM 400™ Performance Control Module

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.

VENOM 400™ Advantages

The VENOM 400™ improves horsepower by as much as 25% through the range of approximately 1,000 to 5,000 RPM. The VENOM 400™ is OBD II compatible. 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-controller that is capable of monitoring the various sensor inputs and modifying their output at more than 40 times per second.

If you have already installed a performance prom, the VENOM 400™ will enhance the vehicle's performance beyond the parameters set by the performance prom.

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.

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

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

Easy installation in 20-30 minutes with basic hand tools requiring only four electrical connections.

Red cockpit LED indicating VENOM 400™ activation.

Up to 25% more increase in horsepower throughout the power range of 1,000 to 5,000 RPM (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 (when equipped with auto instead of manual).

Hehe I quoted myself. Anyways

that is the reason I want to get it. If it is true of course. This could be in part eliminated with SS, but in my 4spd TL. SS is just BS. I want a manual transmission.

Some Legend owners have tried this and in the auto's some people feel it is more responsive. People with the 5 and 6 speeds were disapointed. As the link above mentions all this device does is trick your car into thinking you are giving more throttle than you really are.

Venom is crap. All the legend owners I know said it was crap and they all went with the replacement ECU from Bayou.

I would not waste my money on the Venom, for the TL or the Legend.

You want speed out of your TL? Get AEM CAI, Comptech Headers, Comptech Exhaust, and if you still aren't satisfied run a 50 shot of nitrous while you wait for the RES and supercharger.

Exactly. I remember this product, they used to advertised it truthfully
(gains at partial throttle, ie: moving throttle position). Now I see they've
resorted to false advertising tactics.
