Tornado Fuel Saver?
Fellas,
I seen an interesting infomercial about a device called Tornado Fuel Saver and when installed it increases your fuel economy and horsepower by much as 28% and 13 horses respectively.
It’s a mini-cyclone looking device that’s placed in your air intake that creates a swirling motion, allowing the air to move faster and more efficiently.
One of the sites below sells it for $70 and the other sells it for $50. What do you guys think? Save up and buy an intake kit. I just might buy one and install it in my wife’s Expy and see what kind of increases it gives.
I’m bored! I thought I throw out a new thread.

Check out the following thread for more information. I believe that the tornado is worthless.

I say get TWO!! Think of the double swirling vortex of power that TWO can make! 
That air will swirl and swirl making gobs more horsepower while using less fuel to do it...well....until it hits the throttle plate...

LOL! Good one! My FIPK and Poweraid have made a difference with the top end. Don't go cheap if you do stuff. Seriously.

Hehe we just had a discussion about "search". The other Tornado thread is only 1 page away (last post 1 day ago). Sorry not picking on you ExBMWTurnFx4SCrew...welcome to FTE!

Big MATT(in case you read this)
I think you need to add a section call "worthless Stuff you can waste your Money on....to increase Performance by lightening the load(in your wallet)"
no offense to anyone who bought or thought about buying this stuff...but you asked so you did the right thing. hate to read the threads of people who bought this junk and found out the hard way
again i am sorry don't mean to be rude or anything
just my opinion

If it increased performance, and increase fuel economy, manufacturers would put them in at the factory. They are always looking to better their overall fuel economy.

between Zmax, fuel magnets, intake tornadoes, and those teflon pellets you dump in your engine, it's amazing there aren't laws against all this junk...

a buddy of mine ownes a performance shop and on night we decided to put my 89 mustang GT 5.0 on the dino and do a run, 318.6 Hp to the rear wheels, then we put that stupid tornado in and ran it again, 312.2 Hp, It actualy robs power and is obveously restricting air flow. the only way this would ever work is if you had a perfectly straight tube that went into every combustion chamber, like most intakes have atleast one or more curves in them, the vortec created by the tornado would be gone before it got to the valves and mixed with fuel, If you want to throw your money away just go to church and give it there
