Default Tornado adder

Has anyone ever used the Tornado thing the goes in your air intake line??? I have a few friends that just got theirs and I was wondering if it really works, or if it's just a big waste of $80.

Not to sure, is it that thing that is like a fan in your intake that spins so it takes in more air? My friend was telling me that he watched some program on it and it added more hp at the dyno. I will ask him at school today and post what he seen on it.

I read this very same question on another mustang website. Everyone said junk and a waste of money.

Besides being an intake restriction, I'd have to say that tornado will get pretty ripped up by the time the air hits the intake runner and ripped 8 different directions.

Thats what i was thinking. The only way I could see something like this work, is if it was after the fuel and air mixed, but that would be fun trying to make that. I guess I'll let u know when my friends put in theirs.

I think that the product itself is a great idea. Its a very simple concept, easy to produce, and will make millions off of people who know nothing about cars. I wish that I would have thought of it. Especially around the time following the release of /The Fast and the Furious/.
