I did a google search on venom and found their site; http://www.venom-performance.com
A quick peek shows lots of ricer/4banger stuff and pre 97 Ford trucks.
Have a look at http://www.python-injection.com/index.html
They have links to Venom too.
It would seem that they were in the ricer buisness and now are branching out to the V8 croud.

I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble - not by any means - but I think we need a reality check here...........
A 25% power gain simply is not possible via tuning/PCM mods alone in *these* vehicles. Now if we were talking about the typical *turbocharged* import or performance car, then yes, that type of power gain - another 25% - is sometimes possible via tuning/PCM mods in some situations - but that cannot be done in these normally aspirated gasoline engine trucks.
Just to give a little perspective here..............a 25% power gain would require a 1997-2000 F-150 with a 4.6 motor, rated at 220 HP SAE Net stock, to suddenly make another 55 HORSEPOWER. That would mean it went from 220 HP to 275 HP (220x1.25=275), and that is not going to happen in these vehicles from tuning/PCM mods alone - not even with the good Lord himself tuning that motor.
And what would that mean in a 1999 or newer 260 HP 5.4 F-150? A 25% power gain there would mean another 65 HORSEPOWER, for a total of 325 HP - at just 0.45 BSFC, you'd have to run the injectors at 100% duty cycle just to feed that much power, and you'd be lucky to not have the injectors go static in the process!
Take a 4.2 V6 F-150, rated at 205 HP stock - same problem - another 25% would mean 256+ HP - that's all the 19# fuel injectors on the 4.2 V6 can support at stock rail pressures, so you couldn't even add an intake kit or an exhaust without upgrading the fuel injectors.
I'm glad for anyone that is happy with the device - by all means, we hope you enjoy it. And yes, we too have seen some of the large power gain claims in various advertisements over the past 8-12 months or so - but the reality is that it's just not possible to get a 25% increase in peak power via tuning/PCM mods alone in *these* vehicles - in some turbo imports yes, but not in *these* vehicles.
If we could add another 55-65 HP to these vehicles with a simple bolt-on device like that, we'd be multi-millionaires in just a couple of months - literally!
Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, just trying to provide some perspective........................
Have fun,
