$$$300$$$

um 1- tornado? Um dude did it help you any...? I heard that its actually hurts the maxima, the intake becomes instable, those power loss... not a gain.. You say this product on tv right?
Well what ever floats your boat..

2-advance timeing can be found here.. you need a timing gun...http://www.geocities.com/craigbraceg...ng/timing.html hey did you clean your throttle body?
Hope this helps... But if you advanced the timing you need to run 89+ in your max..

There is noo way that the tornado gave you 10-15+ horsies.. If that was true every maxima owner on the forum would have talked about this. I seriously think that your mileage increased... Please intregie me, I need some proof... Anyone think i am right?

if something gave you 7 mpg, 15 hp and cost 40 dollars (or whatever it is) and was legal then all cars would come stock with them

1. Unorthodox UDP = underdrive pulley ($200 for VG)

2. FSTB = front strut tower brace ($60)

3. advance timing ($0)

4. IMO....get rid of tornado (and buy clears with the $$$) ($0)

5. clears ($35)

6. throttle body cleaning ($0)

do a search on these. you will the advantages and disadvantages (if any) very easily.

ok......

A friend of mine has a Tornado on his S-10 Xtreme, It only helped the mpg, but to performance gains....and i'll do your timing for 50 buck.
Just mail it and I only accept cash.

"<ding><ding> Johnny, please tell crazy4maxima what he's won!"

tornado restricts airflow... less air into the engines is less power and inefficient fuel burning.

Re: Re: SEEN ON T.V.

wonders why he hasnt replyed..

man dont take this personall.. this is just a friendly post about your claims of 10-15 horses is really a lie... we all have been trying to improve our maxima's, and we all learn from each other. That is why we know for a fact that your max cannot possibly run 39 mpg.. unless your running a 3 bannger... which i doubt, you wouldnt go to far being that the max is heavy..lol.. well post up... what else have you done to your maxima.. 300 dollars you can do some mighty good things to your maxima... but i suppose you could save the money for a sc or turbo?!!
