I been reading about this system from their website and they seem like they have a good product. What do yall think about this? Anywone that has it what difference in performance have you seen? I just think it would be worth it, 10-20 hp gains for $70. Any input is appreciated.

What about the E-ram "electric S/C".....

eventhough it is a different concept it is very similiar in the effect, except the fan is activated by the TPS at WOT only and runs of the battery. I was considering getting one put inline with my CAI(whenever I get that....), plus they garuntee 5+hp at the wheels or money back. any comments??

yep, like i was saying in the other forum "make 10,000+ a week" it wouldnt do much if any. Those dyno's that they have to prove it makes power can easily be faked. if it was such a good mod for so cheap so many manufacters would have picked up on it already.

They guarantee you get power, i think its called the Power of suggestion. If they make you belive youll get 3hp then you think to yourself you get 3hp. Majority of the people cant tell if they have gained 3hp or if its juss in their head. There are some that will go through the trouble to get their money refunded.

The whole thing is BS. A mag tested it out and it did nothing. They even tried to talk to them and confront them about it and they ignored them. The idea is right, but int he wrong location. The air being fed into the intake can only suck so much, the tornado only spins and tries to force it in faster but it wont either. The flow/ amount of air can only go so fast. One word...JUNK.

MORE TORNADO STUFF

Alright guys! I'm getting a new shipment of Tornado air stacks! This works, there are a lot of negative stuff people are saying but it has no support what so ever. Just rumors. I'm going to get a copy of Sema report on this stuff. I got resources from Stillen "Do you know Stillen" you should by now, they are ordering a small shipment of these and will soon sell these system too. I will get his number for you and let you call him yourself. Most of the other stuff are very promising. I have seen it myself. I get more miles per gallon, and a little horsepower 2-3hp. What other products can you get that would work for under 70 bucks. I may be able to do a groupBuy on this stuff if there are enough buyers. ttyl
