i just put 3 of them in the contour and ran a 9.26 @ 150
yup thats rugnt, even though there is no engine in the tour, it still ran those times!
Nice! I never even considered using more than one, but think about it...........3 tornadoes = 3 times the horsepower-boosting airflow!
Well done! Better watch out for speeding tickets though........

dont forget the chrome muffler bearings, they help speed up the exhaust flow so the tornado can ram even more air in.

Oh hell yeah man, very good point. And one other thing..........well, I'm not even sure I should tell you guys about it, it's kind of a top secret idea of mine, but you seem nice so here goes....
I installed a tornado fuel-saver in my gas tank, yeah you heard me! Why? Because it swirls the gas before it hits the fuel lines and makes for better combustion, of course! Now I know what you're thinking........."won't that piece of crap dissolve in my gas tank, thereby leaving my engine to combust little shards of metal in the fuel?" The answer is NO. The tornado fuel saver is constructed using 10-layers of Reynolds patented aluminum foil, and we all know how tough that stuff is.
**Update** Just dynoed my car after the fuel-tank install! Bad news though, the dyno could not handle the power my car put down and caught fire, so I did not get an accurate reading. Last I saw, the HP needle was swinging close to 1000 though, but I guess we'll never know. The message I am trying to get across here is this: be careful, this thing is more powerful AND versatile than we all thought.

my tour may be fast, but the blazer is faster. it ran a 6.17 @ 215 last night on the local uphill track. whats the secret?
PLASMA !!!!
quad tornado injected plasma!
the extreme power it made broke the tranny, so a little bit of super glue and duct tape and the tranny is heavily beefed up now and can take excess of 5000 HP

I wonder what kind of HP and gas mileage gain I'd see with an eram and tornado gas saver...with all that air they're shootin through at tremendous speeds, there has gotta be gains somewhere.

No way man, I got the TEFLON muffler bearings! Reduces sliding friction of the exhaust gases.

Maybe on your lawn mower.
