Venom Injectors
I recently installed a new cam and valve train in my car. When it was time to start her, I had a problem. Two of my fuel injectors had become stuck open during the time they had been sitting. First lesson, always keep sensitive parts like these in sealed plastic bags.
I went to Summit and purchased the only set of injectors they had in stock for my car.
These Venom link are the ones .
These injectors made my car run lean causing random miss-fires. I put my old injectors back in except for the two stuck ones. I left two of the Venoms in.
The car ran great since then. I have checked the plugs several times and I don't see any difference between the two.
A couple days ago I decided to give the Venoms another try. As soon as I started the car it was obvious there was a problem. Almost immediately the SES light came on. DTC was 0300 (miss-fire detected).
So, I swapped them back out and took them back to Summit for a refund.
I just wanted to maybe save one of you from making this mistake.
Here's their description:
VENOM Stage I Fuel Injector
This is an off the shelf hi-performance fuel injector which is an exact fit, OEM design injector.
Flow rate is increased up to 10% in order to maximize horsepower increase, while minimizing against too rich fuel mixture. Idle is maintained, while increasing overall performance throughout the RPM range.

I believe I mentioned something in May
The "First, they don't even show an application for your vehicle" should have been all that was needed.
I would have to say after looking at this chart:

You have a can of worms there.
That chart is F'd up at the least. I notice 2 glaring problems. First, they don't even show an application for your vehicle???????? Second, they say the 93 uses the same injector as the 94. When we all know that is not the case.
Dump those pieces of S@#T and go back to a good stock set.
