intake tornado
Is anyone out there using a tornado or tubonator in there intake? I have the gas v10 and wondered what peoples comments where on these gadgets. I'd consider one if someone really is seeing an improvement. 10% mpg increase might only mean 1 mpg on these beasts but over the year that will save some money. Thanks for your input. JOHN

Look I'm not positive but I think it helped me. I get at least 1 to 2 miles per gallon better on the highway. on a level highway I can get 16.5 Mpg over a long distince at 75 mph. with my V10 I also think Synthetic oil in it helps. before these two things I used to get 13-14 over the same stretch of road.

Very wise crewcabjohn. It's just another modern day snake oil gimmick that has been proven toooo many times that it is worthless. And yes you will save more(like 69.95) on fuel by not buying into it.

You cant get an accurate depiction on 1 or 2 tanks of gas at how your economy is.You need to keep a log and check it every 1200-1500 miles to get a more honest answer.

LOL...what a fricken joke that thing is! As if your airintake airflow is going to be set in motion by this hunk of trash and once it gets slammed thru the intake, the intake manifold, the velve pocket and finally into the combustion chamber......like the airflow still ( assuming it ever did...) has an improved laminar flow and swirl effect! Think about where the air goes and how it gets there......can you say SCAM for the wishfull thinking!

I'd have to agree with the others here...more hype than anything else.
But, I also find it intertesting that at the bottom of this thread...at least when I view it....is an ad to "supercharge any car for $69.95".
