Question "Tornado"

Does anyone know if those "Tornado" things work? You know, the little round, metal things you put in the intake that are supposed to increase hp, mileage, etc? It would be appreciated if someone prevented me from wasting my 80 bucks on useless crap.

Re: "Tornado"

How could it possibly speed air? Think about it. If air hit something that moves or worse in this case doesn't what will it do? Slow down! That means less power!!!

Re: "Tornado"

I've seen these on the web, they claim to help "spin" the air in the intake and help atomize the fuel. If the injectors are at the port how the hell is it gonna help if the thing is three feet away? Waste of money.

Re: "Tornado"

If you could gain that much HP for so little price, don't you think everyone would have one?

Re: "Tornado"

Ok, you got your answers. No it doesnt work, I would suggest put that money in the ol' 3800 s/c motor swap fund.
