Question Tornado Air Management System?

http://www.tornadofuelsaver.com

Has anyone seen this on TV late at night? What do you think? Bogus? Does anyone actually have one?

Since i saw your post i have been doing some searching on the web about this product and to my surprise, most people that have used it say it is worth it and it works. hopefully someone here has some hands-on experience with it.

Question

I saw this last night also. I was thinking of posting it here as well. Is this thing new, or just getting publicity due to high gas prices? The demonstrations they were doing seemed to prove that the air did flow better in a vortex. I am kinda skeptical of "infomercials" though. It would be nice to see if anyone has actually used it.

BTW..here is the site they gave on the one I saw, sorry if its the same, don't have time to check..

Thanks Romeo, you're link is MUCH better, and includes our trucks. I'll change my post to match yours.

Doesn't this do the same thing as the PowerAid spacers that we all said were useless? In a fuel injection vehicle isn't the fuel atomized by the injectors not by the air stream? Sounds like another unproven product. Anyone want to be the first to spend the $70 +shipping?

Thumbs down

Norm is right, they're useless. Just like Poweraid spacers. These devices only really work on TBI engines where fuel and air is mixed before entering the intake manifold creating a better fuel/air atomization.

Question

DANIEL FINE- I think you need to recheck the quote or show me where I made this statement. You obviously made a mistake. Please read my sig. I don't have a V6.
