The guy who said that was joking. The Tornado is a joke. A clever scheme to seperate gullible and uninformed drivers from their money.

Fancy Proof too
For proof of the "Tornado effect" they taped two 3liter plastic Pepsi jugs together with water filling the bottom one. Then the guy turns it over and the water slowly glug, glugs out of the top one into the bottom, supposedly how your air flows into your stock air tube. Then he turns it upside down again and gives it a swril, "like a tornado", and the water quickly flows from the top jug into the bottom proving the "Tornado effect".
We all learned in grade school that the water will only flow into the lower jug, if the air trapped in the lower jug can get past the water into the upper jug. Giving it a "Tornado swirl" opens up the center of the pasage between the two jugs for the air to pass the water now easily flowing down the sides of the jug! OOOH, It's magic

It wont do anything for your VETTE nor pocket. By just reading the installation instructions, it tells you that it will not be able to help nor create .000009 HP. It goes in front of the MAF screen. What a joke.

Jamming your floormats under the gas pedal would do the same, but it doesn't mean it's helping.
The Tornado is a restriction.
