"tornado"

Didn't see this one posted, so I figured id ask.

There is a product called the tornado that supposedly increases fuel efficiency by "spinning the air" as it comes into your engine through your intake.

While I can see the merits of a more even air/fuel mixture entering the cylinders and thus imporving overall effiency, I just dont know if i buy it.

Has anyone ever triied this thing out, or should i spend my $60.00 on a tank of gas...

Thanks all,

Dan

Well I hope everyone has been able to answer your question. Now think hard about which "opinion" you will choose to follow.

Don't listen to these guys.... Put one on your intake to help atomization of fuel, then you can also put one in you exhaust system to double the scavagening effects... Fuel efficiancy increase of up to 200%!
But don't stop there... Mount two of them hanging off of the front valence, with the swirls going opposite directions. This will increase the speed of the air under the vehicle, while the air above stays the same. The resulting force sucks your vehicle closer to the ground, resulting in less frontal mass of the vehicle and better fuel economy. Airplanes use this effect to fly!
We'll even go one step better... High cost of electricty got you a case of the summer blues? Well, put one of these bad boys in your home A/C, and the result is the fan has to work less, thus saving electricty.






PS- Don't believe a damn thing I just said....
