The Tornado

Does the tornado, you know the thing that spines the air, work?
Does anyone have it, what are the results?

I honestly don't think anyone on the forum would have this device in a vette... and if they do I don't think anyone would admit to it!
10+ HP, 5+ MPG all for $30. Are they stackable?!

If it's too good to be true...

Actually, it's not the Tornado that makes extra power but the stickers that come with it. I think their worth at least 10 hp and tq at the wheels.

It may not work on our cars but it sure makes water go down a bottle rather quickly
