Anyone using the Tornado for fuel economy on a '99 Silverado? Does it help?
Thanks

Greetings Mchristo63,
I tried the Tornado on my 2004 Silverado with 6 liter engine. Instead of adding tot he mpg - it decreased it by about 2 mpg.

It is. My friend went to UTI and while he was there they dyno'd a car using the tornado. It didn't do a damn thing.

Re: Tornado
Have 2002hd, 8.1, crew cab and full box.
It (tornado) does not add any mpg. Save your $$. I have one, give me an address and I will send it free, 0, no charge.
It may work for you.

It was the tires, trust me, mud tires ar for creating friction

Re: Tornado
all the tornado does is cause turbulence in the air tube causing a loss of air flow and a decrease in fuel milagwe to one degree....jj. smother more open tube is better...jj
