Thanks for the link, I failed to find it on my search.

I've had 3 cars come into the dyno with these things. Hard to believe I know but it's true. The results were at least a 4hp loss on everyone.




Well.. I was just trying to think of a few cheap and easy mods that would give me more HP. I guess this is not one of those things..

After you suck that Tornado garbage down your intake, you can do the 3liter swap.

Blah.. well it never hurts to ask.

Oh.. and that Prolong stuff is crap as well. Long story with an old 500$ car I had. Somehow over night the oil leaked out and the engine lights never came on. So the engine was killed about a few miles down the road.

Isn't that kind of like "Extend?"

I get all kinds of emails about this stuff. Must be good, right?

LOL! Ironic the same webpage that is destroying the "Tornado" claims has a "Sponsored Links" going to the Tornado.
