Re: Tornado

Actually, it worsens gas mileage. Air is better in the engine if it flows straight in, not if its spinning around like crazy through that $25 sheet of scrap metal....

Re: Tornado

I owned it and matter of fact I just threw it out. I noticed NOTHING! My MPG stayed the same. WORTHLESS!

Re: Tornado

same thing as the turbonator, if you notice better milage cuz of one of these, its just your driving, blocking the airflow to your engine (which is exactly what your doing when you put one of these in your intake tube) will in no way improve mileage, or power

Re: Tornado

I have a wooden block i could sell you, you just put it under your gas pedal so you cant press on the gas all the way. That will help your gas milage.

HAHAHA!..........no
I tried the zum-bish
I'm both my 'fire and dak'
gains are not measurable in either machine.
luckly I got my $$ back but I paid for shipping
the best thing to do is get a Mass air flow sensor.
better for the money
