Python venom 400 pcm ?

wondering if any of you guys are running the Venom 400 PCM on your 94/95 ?

the module claims a 25% increase in the 1000-5000 rpm range and better throttle response. its a $300 piece, i got one a while back for 1/2 that but never have installed it.

anyone tried this module? curious if you can really tell a power gain or not.
should i try it or sell it and just get a A9L computer (tryin to get rid of that timing retard between shifts) ?

also, this would be goin on a fresh 306...would it still work with the bigger H/C/I etc?


thanks guys

A 25% gain on a NA h/c/i combo of 300rwhp = 75rwhp

I gotta think the reality here would be more like

As for moving back to an A9L pcm.

Lots of opinions and strong feelings about it

A 15 sec search using PIH shows 66 threads in this forum

Others like you have thought the same

I'd go see what all the talk is about

As for me ...... I say tune your original pcm

Look forward to seeing how your 306 combo turns out

preciate it grady.

more and more i read peoples opinions on the 400, the more they call

and for good reason i guess. if 300 bucks or less could get you a 25% gain, id say everyone would have 1
i was just hoping for a glimmer that it might be what they said it was

o well, cross your fingers for me when i get the 306 together for 300 rwhp

:QUOTE=final5-0]I am glad you did not take my reply as me wanting to ............

Rain all over your parade

Since you got it for a very good price.

Seems like you could get out from under it easily ......... that is

unless you wanted to give it a try.

Even though 25% is unreasonable ........

One would think it would give some kind of gain.

surely it would make -some- difference....
but some of the guys that posted on here , in other threads, that used the 400 said they had some idle issues and crappy throttle response

like you said, i dont have too too much in it, maybe i can sell it.
wonder if i could get $150 out of it ....thats 1/2 what a new one costs

anyway, guys on here said to take what grady says as gold.....so grady, shoot me some advice. take a look at my sig. i want to make at least 300 rwhp.....can i do it with that combo?

cant decide on afr 185s or 165s.... i get different opinions from different ppl. they say for what im doin, the 165 might suit some more bottom end grunt.
and yes..i know i know i have a off-the-shelf cam on there and it may be a little on the big side. i called Reed custom cams to get some specs on a custom grind and his cam is so close to a trickflow stage1. his is like 222/228 and 510/510. the stage1 is 221/225 499/510 . that seems REALLY close for a extra $120.....what do u think?

id like to run the tfs stage 2 ....i want some thumpin but i dont want too much cam either and kill the bottom end.....

can i get away with the stage 2 (224/232 542/563)?
or is that custom grind that much different than a stage 1?

any help would be GREATLY appreciated

thanks again

i appreciate all your advice / pointers. feel free to post any more or give any more insight. i got a feeling i'll be askin you plenty more

thanks again
