Damn.. And here I am... Just about a bunch of these things to sell... Damn, damn, damn. I guess I need to put stock on those electric superchargers. At $85.00 a pop... who can go wrong? They are guaranteed to add 15-45HP... And then add a Type-S badge... and we are talking 30 -60HP! I am gonna be rich!!!

Get a piece of newspaper, wad it up in a ball and cram it up the air duct. That should provide about the same amount of restriction as one or two of those tornado thingys.QUOTE]
That has got to be the all time funniest response I've ever read. Thats great

Clearly none of you all have first hand experience. My modifications include a tornado, hardened johnson rods, low friction muffler bearings, and cross drilled brake lines, and I've gained about 5mpg around town and a definite seat of the pants power improvement.

But I agree with the rants about the tornado. IT's crap. Mom and dad put on on their MAzda pickup and lost mileage.

These mods are awesome! I did them too and picked up a solid 12rwhp. Add that to the 19rwhp I gained with my Type R sticker, it was money well spent
