ANYTHING you put into the airflow upstream of the combustion chamber just robs the airflow of energy and velocity. Simple thermodynamics. It's total garbage.

Including the Air Foil? lol

Matt,

Although that may be true, it doesn't necessarily mean the motor will produce less power. I once did a dyno test of running the motor both with and without the air cleaner element(K&N). I LOST 10hp when I ran without the filter. I am not advocating the "tornado", but pointing out real world experience that says not everything in the way of airflow is negative. :seeya

Save your money and get some yellow stickers, neon windshield wipers and a BIG wing. They'll add more horsepower than that swirrly thing. :jester
