See KO76, I can tell by the way you typed that, that you are stating only the facts. I would be tempted to add another stack though. Before long you would be able to get 28mpg while towing 47k, up hill...just like a diesel.

Just out of curiosity, and this may have been discussed before. But if you stack the Turbonator on top of the Tornado, don't you get The Cyclone? Or is it The Hurricane? Maybe it was The Twister? I don't remember.

LOL- I left Ken speachless!
Rusty-
If you stack the turbonator on top of the tornado, you will create a warp in the time/space fabric which will subsequently result in the formation of a "black hole". There will be so much gravitational pull that you will get 5 google-trillion cubic feet per second of air intake and, according to my special version of desktop dyno software, a net increase of 100,204,347.682 HP. This increases by 10HP if you install the stickers for both products on your back window.

NoMo,
I have a slight problem with the mods you speak of. If I did stack the gizmos (technical term) in the fashion you describe, and I achieve the 5 google trillion CFM suck as you say. I feel my engine would actually suck itself, into itself, and I'd be left with what is commonly referred to as The Nano-Hecturian Internal Drive Suckubus. In which case I would have to drain my gas tank, so I could put in the correct fuel. And quite frankly, I don't want to deal with the Hazardous Waste Disposal fees involved with that.
And secondly, I'm not greedy, I'd leave the stickers off of the rear window!

Classic, I saw the Tornado booth at the last SEMA and we gave em all kinds of trouble. they had a little table, no hot models which didn't help, and simply two liter bottles taped together with water in it and they would spin it around in circles and place it down to show the water flow, kind of like an old childhood project at a science fair. And this will all done to explain the benefits of the Tornado. Too funny.
