I found this performance control module for $299. Does this actually produce what it claims or is it crap? Here's the link.

for the price it seems like it's to good to be true, but you never know.

I put the venom controller in the same boat as the Tornado and Jacobs ignition's 30hp gain.

Save your money for somthing "real" I've seen it make good numbers on automatic NA honda's, but never on a Nissan (since it has a MAF baised ECU).

Yeah they seem pretty stupid, I do believe that if you even want to turn it on you have to do it while your car is off. That means if you pull up to a guy at a stoplight you gotta say "hold on a sec I gotta get my venom turned on" then turn off the car pop the hood and turn it on then turn the car on. Now my redlights are never that long where I can tune my car.

i have the venom 400 module and ive noticed a pretty noticable difference in 3rd gear, on the highway, downshifting from 4th gear into 3rd at 60mph, it feels like it gets to 90 mph in no time with the chip on, with it off, it feels like its lagging, ive had a good experience with it, and oh yea, expect a loss of about 2miles per gallon with it on. I bought mine straight from Venom at a NIRA event for 170, and i feel its worth it for what it does. But do not pay 300 dollars for that, save a little more and get nitrous or put that on a short shifter/good clutch/used lsd. my .02 cents

I would want to see a dyno chart before i ever considered exchanging money for a 400 module, myself, but if it helped you NISMO, then great
