Re: Tornado (1969stingray1969)

A lot of folks have posted about this over the years. I know of no one who has ever posted their results after installing a Tornado.

Why don't you purchase one, install it and test it for a week or two - give the 'ol PCM a chance to adjust - and then post back to all of us here on the Forum how you did.

Waiting to hear from you...

Re: Tornado (jeanlucpicard)

It's just a bunch of crap because it takes the velocity of your intake air to run it, which will rob you of some of the velocity of your incoming air. All power adders have to have a source to run themselves, nothing does it on it's own.

By the way, this reminds me of the oil additive commercial where they run an engine with no oil in it after it had been so called "coated" with their additive and also ran a water hose on it with the valve covers off to show that with their additive it could run forever with no lubricant in it. Water makes an extremely good lubricant! :lolg:

Re: Tornado

Don't put one of these units in a Corvette! They are junk, junk, junk. I tried one once in a truck I had, it was a complete waste of my money.
