Concept is great but no it does not work restricts air flow.

i love how they plainly say that the average gains on a car is 0-35 hp, depending on the application, and 0-30 lb/ft. haha
so they are basically marketing a 70 piece of metal that doesnt necessarily have to do anything :uhoh:
save the 70 bux, add another 50, and do a worthwhile mod: a B&M fuel pressure regulator.

Oh yeah... it's the "Tornado" by another name...
I always loved the Tornado commercials where they show you how water transfers from one bottle to another, like an hourglass... Normally, the water gulps due to displaced air being passed from the bottom bottle to the top, but amazingly, when they swirl the water, it passes smoothly through the bottlenecks...
First of all, air is NOT water, and doesn't have surface tension (which would cause gulping like in the experiment). Second of all, an intake system is not a closed system... you aren't simply filling one vessel with air from another vessel. The air is SUCKED into the intake... this means that even if air was water, there would be no gulping
Second of all, by "swirling" the water in the bottles, they dramatically increase the distance that the water has to travel to enter the other bottle... wouldn't that be counterproductive?
Your engine is only going to "suck" in a prescribed amount of air, regardless of what direction the air is flowing, and unless you have a device (such as a supercharger or turbo charger) that will actually increase the DENSITY of air (air pressure), you're just plain not going to get more air into the cylinders. Sorry to say that the Tornado (or the SpiralTard) doesn't even come close to doing that.
In short, don't waste your money.
