tornado charger

anyone experienced the tornado charger that slips in right after ur air filter? watched the whole promo on tv. 70 bucks and spins the air so it is more direct in the intake. i was impressed. its supposed to increase hp and mpg. slips right in after ur filter. i like it cuz it chargers without the louder noise of the K&N charger, plus this charger cuts ur milage. lets talk Tornados'.

The Tornado Charger is good for one thing and one thing only....Lightening your wallet by $70!

If you like it & you're impressed, go ahead & buy it, but don't say you weren't warned.

Saw a segment on the local news show about the Tornados. They ran a test on a '99 GMC Jimmy (fuel injected) and an '81 Buick (carb). They ran the cars before and after on a dyno, the Buick got a very small amount power out of it, but the Jimmy showed no improvement. The test showed they just aren't worth the money...their opinion was they just don't work...a few mechanics also said they aren't worth it. Tornados are a rip off.
