Ok call me stupid I was up all-night playing Counter Strike
and then a info commercial came on for the Tornado.
ok here my question, anybody had any experience with this.
they have all there claims.
Tornado! What exactly is it?

It is an air-TWISTER, patented worldwide, with 10 years of research & development behind it.

The TORNADO is an automotive air channeling tool that creates a swirling air motion, allowing the air to move faster and more efficiently by continuously whirling air around corners and bends.

Imagine a mini-tornado on its side moving through the intakes of your automobile. It causes better fuel atomization, resulting in an increase of gas mileage anywhere from 7-24%. These figures are confirmed by road testing performed at an emission lab licensed by the EPA.

Dyno testing shows 4-13 added H.P. as well! The TORNADO is easy to install; 2-5 minutes usually, requires no maintenance and is an affordable addition to most passenger cars, light trucks and RVs on the road

They quote a 24% increase with a 1986 max in fuel mpg.
80.00 dollars. just curious if anybody seen this, or had experience with it.

From what I heard, it really doesn't work. Maybe someone in here has tried it.

Snake oil... doesn't work. It's been dyno'd by SCC to lose power because it's blocking air flow.
