Has anyone heard of this company before?? Next Level Performance.... the have two addon boxes. I understand computer theory and workings of an engine. What they say on there website makes sense to me. The 5 volt reference wire on most vehicles runs to the TPS, Map & Air Intake Sensor etc..

Basically I was wondering if anyone has tried this system on any vehicle and how it actually peformed for you. The price is right if it lives up to what they say it can do. Anyway, just some more info if nothing else. Take care.

looks like a Venom 400 at the price more like what its actually worth in parts/assembly.

Probably a good item for automatics, but be sure to use high-octane to prevent detonation.

I wouldnt be surprised if there was plans to build one of these (DIY) on the Web, as I dont think it involves any ICs.

At 40 bucks I don't mind buying it, but will it fuck up my car? Anyone has any comment?

Ya, have you guys learned anything new about this G-box?? There are so many scams out there, yet so many people willing to put down a new idea with out researching it. If you learn anything new (especially if you decide to purchase one) let me know. thanks.

I would have to call SCAM!! on both of these units. The Venom 400 advances your TPS signal to the ECU in order to make ut think that you are at open loop before you actually are. From my experience wit this, most cars bypass emissions equipment and add more timing/fuel which is why you feel a little difference. To give you an idea, go drie your car at WOT non-stop....

I'm not sucha newbie, but what does WOT stand for again? If this increases hp/torque by changing my fuel mixture why wouldn't I want to get it? Is there an easier, less expensive way of doing it? I understand that this method is a simple concept, and not a new one, but I'm only interested in performance. People are getting their chips flashed for $600! If this cost $600 would more people do it?

WOT = Wide Open Throttle = Closed loop opperation :D ;)

Don't worry, I had to ask at one point also.;)

thanks... I understand now. You're saying that our own computer will change the fuel/air ratio enough if we lay on the gas. Gotcha;)

My car has a g-spot. It is somewhere between the turbo and the accelerator. But I can never find it. :confused:
