venom vs. jim wolf tech

I was wondering if anyone has used the venom "ecu" upgrade, they list it in ebay? If so what the tradeoffs with venom vs. jim wolfs ecu upgrade? which one is better? Has anybody used venom fuel injectors?

there "ecu" upgrade are junk compared to a jwt retune. venom also doesn't have the greatest products out there. i've always heard of bad stories over their parts.

I have the JWT ECU upgrade and I love it. Quicker acceleration, smoother idle, better throttle response and better gas mileage but you definitely have to run only 91+ octane in the engine or it'll run like crap. I only use 93 octane and even when it gets low in the tank the car starts running a little funny but it's an excellent upgrade and worth the money. If you have all the basic performance mods, get this one to optimize them all. I can't imagine what this car would feel like if it was a 5 spd !

The Venom is crap. all it does is fool your ECU into thinking the throttle position is open farther than it actually is- which causes the engine to run a little more rich... so you can advance the timing yourself some..

but it only works at part throttle, as at WOT the throttle position switch can't get any farther open.....

so basically the venom is crap
