I have a Venom VCN-2000 it is more of a import system but I ordered a V8 harness for it. Over 3 years now... Works as advertised.

Remember that a progressive system pulses the noids so they recommend you replace the noids every 40-50 passes. The Venom has a screw type noid so it does not have the issue but... If I was to do it all over again today I would go with a DP and the NX maximizer.

You can get a window switch from BMR I think they have a first gear lockout or you can do like I did. I mounted a NC limit switch near the base of my shifter. It is then wired in series with the WOT switch. When the car is in first no spray, the other gears work like normal. It is simple and works great.

No need to replace our noids after such few passes 40-50. I have several customer that have used progressives for a season with no problems. At the end of their racing they send them in and get them check out. If a problem is seen at that point it gets warrantied. And that first gear lock out that Chris mentioned I believe "pretty neat".

I wish I had a pic, but it is quite simple and works. I am surprised more people don't use one it is great for the street. Let me know if you have any questions or send me a PM.
