Unless you have a one-cylinder motor, it's snake oil.

Already did long ago after the television commercials. It's snake oil. Purchased only by the gullible.

Hurry everyone, go buy one before they run out

I was going for 4.10's and an H/C job but since I put in the tornado, I am skipping all these mods. It is the best money ever spent on my car. Talk about an SOTP difference.

If you live in Michigan do not use the tornado. I installed the tornado last year and my Vette was found in a tree in Kansas.

Yes, I could see that. Now that magnet dealie that goes around your fuel line to completely "atomize" your fuel before it reaches the injectors is a great compliment to the Tornado.
