Tornado Performance Booster

I was wondering if anyone has tried the tornado? And what anybody thinks of it. Will it help on gas milage?, or is it really a waste of money. Thanks, Bob

Ken couldn't be more correct. Adding dirt to your filter would give about the same effect. Swirling the air before it gets into the carb is not going to do much. It's the swirling after it gets into the manifold and intake ports that will give you the fuel atomization you want to give the best mileage and power.
