Tornado REAL OR RICE???
 
I picked up a tornado a while back and put it on my car... Napa was having a 25% off sale and I figured what the hell I will get it... It rained for a while and after it cleared up I decided to take it off and put it back on and do some driving... I noticed a increase in power across most of my power band... especially over 7k... it wasn’t 10 or 20 hp or what ever they claim on the box but it was noticeable ... anyone else have a similar exp with a tornado and a holly carb???

I had one in my Audi A4 1.8t. The guy who I bought my chip from gave it to me. I didn't think it made a damn bit of difference. The chip on the other hand... now THAT made a difference :D

just dyno the car with and w/o it and we could all finally putthis to rest. or you could just give it to me...

i_piss_on_hondas 01-19-03 04:41 PM

a) You can't see an installed Tornado, therefore it is not a 'look' mod (rice)

b) It does sweet nothing to improve performance (scam)

c) it causes an airflow restriction and, in the event of failure, sends pieces of metal into your combustion chamber, neccessitating a COMPLETE REBUILD (Danger, Will Robinson!)

Well....... that's highly unlikely to happen but I suppose it's possible
