Worthless mods.

Try an intake, tune, headers, or cam, or all of the above. Much more worthwhile mods.

can't believe you said that!
They got 455 with torco, just thought what if I added the tornado! The tracks would require more roll bars!

Don't forget to get the Tornado hood---that should give you another 100HP.

Default Ya Tornado

Ya I added the tornado and got an extra 150hp on the dyno. I am not sure why they dont sell more of these. Everyone says they are worthless and a gimmick. I am all for them . Not only did I get an extra 150hp but I now get between 40-50mpg all day long. Long live the terrific Tornado.......

I thought the tornado only worked if you used the exhaust turbonater at the same time??

...don't forget you also need to route an a/c outlet into the intake, shut all the other vents, run the a/c on full blast w/recirc., change the full throttle a/c cutoff so it cutouts out after 2 mins. of full throttle full a/c. just think, your own self powered supercharger with intercooler.

I installed a "Type R" badge. Not only does my car go faster, I pick up mad chicks at the mall.

On a side note, I picked up a bartender in Alabama one night. I guess somebody didn't like that and they pissed in my 98 Harley chopper gas tanks. It didn't want to idle, but it ran wide open like a raped ape. So, I'm thinking if we can get a bunch of us together for some beer, have a 5 gallon pail in the restroom, we might be onto something.

We'll call it "LIQUID LIGHTNING"

p.s. yes the bartender was worth it.
