The "TORNADO" fuel management system

Has anyone got any information on this product?? it's supposed to increase mileage and HP from a more eficient airflow. I'd be willing to try this thing out since my 4.6L sucks on gas and power. Gosh, I wish I had gotten the 5.4L!!!

Thanks

The "TORNADO" fuel management system

Look at such products with this question in mind: SUV manufacturers would cut off their right arm to find an inexpensive method to increase fuel economy. Why isn't this product incorporated into their vehicles?

The answer is found two posts above.

IMHO

If you had 8 tornado like devices at the intake port of your heads they might produce a gain in your hp and gas mileage..way up at the tube before the throttle body doesn't do anything but make noise as the air passes over the fins.......

but it's just a guess

thank you............i was thinking that too.......they(big three) have teams always working on increasing gas mileage abd the guy who invented the tornado had the answer all along.........one of the bg three woulda made him a rich man if he did......c'mon a 30 cent piece of polished aluminum is the answer???

maybe the instructions to retard your timing and change your driving habits is the answer?????

I'll live with my mileage if i wanted 30 mpg i would bought a ZX2 or a motorcycle
