Default tornado

im from louisiana so a hurricane fuel management system better suits me not to mention
statistics have proven hurricanes last longer than tornadoes as well as hurricanes have the potential to produce tornadoes
so its the hurricane for me all the way

tried one of these things on my altima and gassed it once and the intake sucked it into the throttle body causing it to jam
which in turn made the (crap) drive by wire system screw up
maybe i got a bad one
must of been an f5 tornado i bought

I was going to install a shot of 125 spray, but went with the tornado and gained a 1/2 a second in the 1/4 mile from the back wind

What about this?

I'm thinking of placing TWO Tornados, one in front of the other on my intake. Do any of you think I might DOUBLE my performance??? Am I just too crazy thinking like this?? If all goes well I should be in the 40-50 mpg range too, huh?

Just placed my order for a Tornado.... I've got a D1-SC blown Vette putting down 487rwhp from A&A's kit. I'm pretty confident that by installing my new Tornado just before the pressurized air hits the throttle body it'll act like an "aftercooler" and probably give me another 3lbs. of boost!

Of course I'll need to re-tune my car then, but the extra hp (I'm figuring 50 - 75 rwhp of course) will be well worth it!!!

I would seriously not recommend this product!!

I blew up (2) rear ends and (3) clutches while using the Tornado...our cars are simply not built for the additional HP and TQ!

Default What about....

I have a neighbor who wants to try it on his Toro 6.5 hp, self propelled lawnmower. I think he's just plain CRAZY!!

He'll surely cut his mowing time in half.
