Re: The TORNADO

hey all, I've got a beater car for the winter, it's a 1.9l ford 95 escort nothing great. I used to work for a well marketed mail order firm out of ohio. for an employee discount I paid cost on everything. what I've found is that for the smaller the engine the more in HP this product does work. I was skeptical about it at first but I figured $20 (that's at cost) wasn't anything big to waste. so I tried it out. using a stock filter and that product I actually saw a significant increase in hp. however starting out with only 88 to begin with a 5 hp increase is a 9% or so gain. with moderate engines there's not a big difference and with larger engines you'll pick up like 1 mpg. but think about it 1 mpg on a f350 v-10 is like a 10% increase. I think the statements they made about the product are a little inflated but it's a great product for various cars with nothing available for them. I'm sure combined with a K&N drop in is all you can do to some beaters. however if you already have a conical filter I wouldn't waste the time.
