I know someone who put one on a 240. it didnt do a damn thing. but then i know someone who put it on a 2nd gen eclipse. So i guess it all just depends on the car. Or maybe the guy in the 240 didnt hook it up right.

They are garbage. If you put the venom on, don't forget to get your resistor chip and electric turbocharger from ebay. The venom will not work right without them. Also put as many stickers on your car as you can, they add 5hp per sticker. If you want more power get a AFX or Mopar PCM.

Venom has been dyno tested to lose power on Neons... Stick with Mopar, AFX, or go straight to Megasquirt.

Best of luck!

You should be fine with the 91. You can always get a good octane booster and use that if you need.

Megasquirt is better for the heavily modded or soon to be heavily modded neon....350 bux for version 2 is worth it.
