tornado....motorman

I think most people say that the tornado is worthless for your car but motorman on 790 am in l.a. says to use it.......what's up with that?

He's probably getting paid to say that. It's all about the money these days, product endorsements and all that. The manufacturers of the Tornado are probably sponsors of his show. I think it's been shown pretty definitively that the thing doesn't and can't work!

Perhaps he owns stock or has a financial interest in the company

I have one. It's no longer being used, that's how good they work. I bought it 4 years ago, put it in and noticed nothing. When I bought it, I figured I'd try it and if it didn't work, get my money back with their 30 day manoey back gaurantee. Well, as little as I drive, I go through about a tank of gas every 2 weeks, so I couldn't really tell after the 30 days and am stuck with it.
Anyways, it made no difference. I later on added a cone filter setup on the stock intake and left the Tornado in, and then later added a gibson cat-back exhaust. I decided to try taking the tornado out to see what would happen. That's when my mileage went up.
If anyone wants it, it's yours if you want to pay for the shipping. I refuse to spend another cent on this thing. I've made this ofer several times and still have no takers.

But they look kind of cool, don't they? You could clean it up and set it on the coffee table or someplace like that as a conversation piece! I could incorpoarate it into a metal sculpture...! -TD

The tornado? Isn't that thing that looks like the blade from a tomato or lemon wedger?

I always wanted to buy all that stuff from the JC Whitney catalog that is supposed to increase my mileage by 10% or whatever. If I put it all for the same vehicle I might have to stop every few miles and drain some gas out of the tank.

If you'll do a web search or search on this site, you'll run across numerous articles/reports about the tornado and its cousins. Only one can be traced to actual proof of results.
Those results say zero, zip, nada, spend your money on a woman and get better results. OK, I added that last part.
Read these 'reports' and you'll see any that claim success briefly and quickly mention some other modification at the same time. Like, while I was doing its first tune up I dropped this wonderous thing in and . . . . .

Unfortunately money is the key to unlocking almost every 'personality' endorsement out there. Few have probably seen much less used any of the products. But that's what advertisers think drives the market place, and I guess it does to an extent.
