i think the venom does exactly the same as a throttle body rotor add on thing, it makes your car think you are pushing 70% gas when u are only pushing 50...

I wouldnt use either. Spend your money on better mods that will add real power.

neither. jet chips are so old, i remember back in the days when everyone had one and later found out that many of them were faulty and would over heat. and they also didnt do shit either.

best chip for under $400 is a socketed p28 ecu tuned with uberdata or chrome

don't waste your money on a chip. they do jack. the only way to make power on accords is to either swap an H22(not worth the money), nitrious, or a turbo. other than that you are wasting your money. save up for a turbo kit and a decent fuel management system and you'll get all the power you want.

Why pay 400 bucks that VAFC all its not really going to add power to your engine. Its just going to tweak some stuff.

I would save up for a turbo and run it at 7 or 8 psi with ur stock internals.

because his question was a about a chip that costs $400. he probably doesn't have a few thousand for a turbo kit right now otherwise he'd ask turbo or H22 swap. if he's looking for some engine tuning that will give him some better hp in the $400 range a VAFC or SAFC and dyno tuning would be a better option than what he was looking. if you read the rest of my post i also did say to save your money for a turbo kit.
