Default Help with Venom chip info!

My freind just got a venom chip but im not sure if it exactly for my engine... But if I put it on will it hurt my engine in anyway? The chip is switch on/off version and it is supposed to restore all the factory mods when it is turned off... Will it still perform as well if it is not exactly the engine it is supposed to be on??? I have a EP3

I would think that having it on an engine that it wasnt designed to be on would be harmful. I wouldn't try it.

sounds risky...

i dont understand how its programmed to be universal.
doesn't every car need a different air/fuel ratio and diff rev limiters?

I dont have a clue what a venom chip is. But it sounds almost like the "chip" you are describing is one of those reistors put on the IAT sensor that advances your timing. I dunno...sounds fishy
