Nice work Bob. Hey I don't have a problem with people wasting their money. What I do have a problem with is when one of these money wasters comes on here, or any other media outlet, and screams and yells about how great the product is they just wasted their money on. If I know it's a scam I'll say its a scam. BTW still no response on the other thread for actual proof the Tornado works. People can tell you what ever they want, heck I am actually not human, I am a fish, in a lab, with electrodes connecting my brain to this computer. See it works, I can say whatever I want, but can I prove it? Well no, but some people may still believe I'm a fish just because I said it. Can you tell this has me a bit peeved? Sorry for the rant.

This was told to me by an old motorhead that actually built his own Indy car way back when (the driver died in a practice crash and ended my friend's lust for high speed, but he stayed with sprintcars/midgets and still built very fast cars). Anyhow, he told me the difference between the stock casting and polished intake runners. The imperfections (dimples) in stock intake runners are beneficial in "mixing" the air and fuel together, especially at low to mid RPMs on carb'd motors. Polishing the intake runner is only good for high RPMs, i.e.racing motors only! Since the age of fuel injection, I would have to assume??? that the less blockage in the intake track and a minimal amount of air swirl would be best for normal driving.

Anyone that buys a truck usually don't buy one for fuel economy. I didn't, I got it to get me from one place to another, and to plow the driveway out. And also use it for general purpose. Now we all like a little extra power for our own reasons. Take your $70 saved on not buying into some expensive piece of metal and get yourself a good power chip for your truck or whatever you will enjoy having.
I spent my money on a EZ Edge for my truck. I don't track my fuel economy cause I don't care what it is. I can get the truck to 3000 plus rpms and get the check engine light to come on with it set at the highest setting. And another benifit it also works with a international truck with a t444e, not quite as much as a ford but it is very noticable.
