TROUBLE4U
The Venom nitrous kit pitches itself as advanced and away from the norm, but several of it's "advances" are downright dangerous.
Instead of using jets to meter the flow of nitrous, it pulses the solenoids open and closed very quickly. This seems like an accident waiting to happen.
The computer in the system is supposed to self adjust to correct rich or lean conditions by using the voltage reading from the factory o2 sensors.
It is also a dry kit, and adds fuel to compensate for nitrous by pulsing your stock fuel injectors more again with it's computer system.
The problem with all these is that a stuck-open solenoid is not unheard of, and the venom system is all contained in a box that a user cannot service. Let's say some dirt from a bad fill ends up in the solenoid and it travels up and down just a touch more slowly than it should be. you nitrous shot will increase.
The factory 02 sensors can only tell you if you are above or below 14.7:1 A/F ratio. The system cannot accurately tell the difference between 11.8 A/F and 13.0 A/F.
Also I would not reccomend a dry kit, since many of you are already running injectors at 80% or above duty cycles with a pulley and other bolt ons. They may not be able to keep up with added nitrous.
Your best bet is an NX wet kit. Nitrous and fuel are precisely metered every time, it uses it's own fuel supply and doesnt interrupt your factory injectors, and the Jets settings are tested and proven to run safe and sligthly on the rich side. NX is the highest quality kit on the market, and with a window switch, WOT switch (included in the kit) and a fuel pressure safety switch (included with sal's kit), you will run very safely.

Dont get the full bassani, instead buy the longtubes/midpipes/catback kit from RPM outlet, they have a killer deal on the headers and midpipes for only a touch over 1k, install on longtubes is easier than the bassai shorties, and you will gain alot more power compared to shorties.
