Default Venom 400 ECU Module

it's not well see by the tuners, but if anyone already used it would kindly leave the testimony about it?
obd2 auto tranny only works with obd2 ecu (not tunable) and i don't have $1000 for a complete tranny swap. so i thought this module would provide a , let's estimate, 8 to 10hp gain.
my car is a 97 civic d16y8 with only cold air intake.

already bought and waiting to arrive:
ngk iridium spark plugs
10mm spark cables
46000V external ignition coil and distribuitor

still cashing to buy
stage 2 camshaft
stainless stell 2.5" header

ah if shipment from us wasn't so expensive ...

It will do nothing, I've personally seen people with them in use, it's just a hype.

You wouldn't even receive 8-10hp anyway.

Your ngk plugs and little 10mm wires will not do anything as far as power is concerned. (unless you're current plugs aren't operating properly, in which you'll only restore power that was lost)

That ignition coil will not show any increases in power that you will notice. It might perhaps smooth your power curve depending on the brand and quality.

With the camshaft upgrade with require new valves, retainers, as well as a chipped tune in which you'll be converting.

The only real power you are going to gain for cheap is with bolt-ons (i/h/e), but none of that will even be noticeable considering you still are driving a slushbox.

Sorry to be negative, but it's true.

lol, don't be sorry dude, you are absolutly right.
i'll forgot about venom400 and cam.
bought the spark plugs and cables because the original ones are in time to be changed.
maybe a stainless steel header only to improve the engine look.
thx for the tips.
cheers!
