does "TORNADO" really work?

I just watched this info-mercial on TV about a product called the "Tornado." It somehow allows better air flow thru your intake system, which apparently gives you improved gas mileage, hp gains up to 24+, & better fuel/water ratio...is this really true??? If anyone knowz about this product, let me kno if itz legit. It costs about $70. Thanks

do you know of any info-mercial products to fufill their info-promises. i can't either. but hey, smoke 'em if you got 'em.:smoker2: if you don't mind spending the money, check it out, tell us what you think. but imo, it's probably crap.

tornado's are a bunch of bs. if someone can explain to me how placing a restriction in the path of the itake air can provide better flow, please do. i dont care what you stick in there, blocking air flow does not help hp or mileage. ive seen a few cars with them and the owners always have told me it didnt do anything. ive also seen them in person and it looks like a 2cent piece of tin mangled into a fan shape, with very sharp unfinished edges. not something i would recommend.

i think ive seen something similar called the "TURBO JET" , and since no one has a link to this "Tornado" thing-ummy, heres one for this.

http://www.goflychina.com/invoauto/Frame%202.htm

Tell me, is it BULLSHIT or What?? cos it anit cheap over here. It works out about $200 US compared to your $70. Rip off or what??

oh no, not this question again...this should belong in the FAQ's on g20.net...along with the "Does the Spiral-max work?" and "Does the Electric Supercharger (aka E-Ram) work?" to answer your question...NO

HMMM?


Which one would you suggest?

The Conair Ultra Quiet 1875


OR

The Vortex Platinum Jet Speed Hair Dryer, 3 Power Settings


I think the three power settings are for normal driving, moderate driving, and all out drag

If I were to put one of these inline with my intake, run it on cool instead of hot, and buy 100 50ft Extension cords:

What would the Horsepower increase be? Would this increase in air flow and improve my 1/4 mile times?

I wouldn't waste my money on it. If it's as good as the infomercial says then auto makers would have figured it out way before.

yeah dude calm down, its cool...we just don't want you wasting your money on crap, remember...the people who made this and the people who actually think it works on their ride are the ignorant ones lol but for real though, save a little more and get a real intake from JWT or something or even a cold-air intake. peace.
