i was watching this show on tv a couple days ago, but i forget what the show was called.. the show host was talking about all the things that have hit the market in the past few years that claim "more power" or "increased fuel economy."he ran some tests of his own and shared the results, and those tornado things, he said, did nothing. he tried to get technical and i kind of tuned him out, but that made me curious, all-the-same.i don't care enough to research, but i'm curious to know how well it really works, or similar products for that matter.you'd figure if they didn't work, they wouldn't sell, right? but it might just be that most of us don't have the equipment or know-how to analyse the results and make a confirmed conclusion, but we think it helps so we swear by it anyway.

or it could be these things make a big difference on select engines and this guy's too old and gray to get with the times.

this post is pointless and i'm sorry for investing my thoughts, but i'm going to post it anyway

no tornatoes dont do **** for a fuel injected car, for one itll mess w your maf, having swirled air traveling over it, 2 its ment for a carb'd app where it spins the air going thru the carb to better mix it w the fuel, so bad idea w that
