Search google on "Tornado fuel savings."

Better yet, search "Tornado horsepower". :)

they work on a simple principle. they reduce the width of your wallet, thereby making the aformentioned funds unavailable when you go to the gas station. instant fuel savings.

It's been going on for years.

Read the tests CAREFULLY, including the fine print.

Slick 50 or ProLong engine treatment is apparently in big trouble for falsifying testing procedures/results...

its not like the air isnt already spinning around in your intake. i mean, it DOES have to go through a throttle body and secondary butterfly valves before it hits the actual intake valves.

Also, it should be mentioned that the technical name for those butterfly valves is "Swirl Control Valve" which means that it swirls the air up anyway ;)
