I don't think this info is fair, as other brands can fail or be bad too.

My rc 1000's just had one of them short....my best guess for the blown engine after two years.

My 160 lb bosch injectors after 4 years were 2% off and the new venom 1000's were 5 and 10 cc's off on both of my own tests- Not bad!!!! IMO

First test was injector #1 965cc min #2 975cc min
Repeat again in same order #1 975cc min #2 980cc min


My bosch were tested 5 times : difference at 30 psi was 12-15% but, at 43psi it was 1505 to 1510 or less than 1% lOl

Makes me wonder how they are being tested sometimes. Can the testers be trusted as well?

ANY INJECTOR CAN BE BAD...to be fair I did run mine for a week b4 testing them off the shelf....maybe this is an issue for venom.

When you sell an injector as a 160 lb and they all flow in the 780 range thats not a little thats a lie, false advertising, theft by deciet, on and on they need to pay!

Yeah, I can see that being messed up.

Must have switched part numbers or something.

Maybe they were knock off's-mine were perfect.

Yeah, they got me too.

I just sent a pair I purchased a year ago from the ebay seller. The problem was I took the two "720"cc injectors to Napa to have them cleaned and the spray pattern was a solid stream instead of the usual atomized spread. I sent them to Injector Re-hab and they broke me the bad news.

I can't stand people with no integrity. These are going straight to the trash and sad thing is cost me 60 bucks in the process just to find out they are ****.

Bummer. Thought I would post the news.

On a more positive note of mine ... Like i said mine weren't balanced but I finally got in contact with everyone and had them sent back in to Venom to get them tested ... they redeemed them as not working properly and gave me a new pair. I did take the new pair as soon as I got them to get them tested and this time they actually did flow 720 cc as they should of been in the first place. So i guess that you could still get them but you as soon as you get them, have them tested and they don't flow as they should, call them up right away and send them under warranty to actually get what you paid for.

I got 2 ea 720cc from TLF. I sent them to KGParts to be tested and they came as 700cc. TLF told me to call Bobby at Venom which I did. he told me to send them back to him with the part number that's on the box. I already threw out the box but I am still gonna send them to him.

Just replaced my 1000cc venoms, with some marren 1600cc. I was getting an higher rpm stumble and 90% + injector duty cycle on zero boost. Now the stumble is gone and no high inj. cycle, hmm maybe bad venom injector/s? Gonna send them out to be flow tested for sure. BTW the venoms were less than a year old, money down the drain.
