Tornado

I just got my new catalog from Stylinconcepts and noticed a product called Torndao that goes in your intake tube to produce turbulent air. It says it will increase fuel mileage and horsepower. Thoughts?

Hmmm. 2 tornados and a plasma booster could net me low 10s.Wonder if I would need a built lower with those mods.

Nope you'll be fine as long as your AFRs are in the 13s.

Sounds like you're not running enough synthetic air in your tires....

You guys must be installing them incorrectly. I had a spacer made to fit between the upper intake plenum and the blower. It incorporates the tornado into it's design. I picked up 84 rwhp and 117 ft/lbs of torque. I haven't been to the track yet; but, it's hella fast now. Best mod to date!
