Automotive product from an info-mercial

Does anyone on here have a Tornado Fuel Saver on their RX-7. I was watching Speedvision and saw this product and some of it sounded kinda logical, but I wasn't completely sure it was a legit product. The company selling it claims that the product will increase fuel mileage and add horsepower. The basic idea of the product is that you install it in your intake between the Mass Air Flow and the throttle valves. It is supposed to create a powerful vortex as the incoming air enters the engine and this supposedly leads to better fuel atomization, better fuel economy and better performance. If you want to check it out, go to www.tornadofuelsaver.com. Can anyone with this product installed on their RX-7 comment on these claims??? Thanks.

at low rpms it logically should give you a bump in gas eco. becuase of the swirl effect to mix the gas and air at low rpms' better no idea tho.... as for your dual friction clutch do you like how long have you had it?

On a Toyota truck board I every blue moon go to, someone did a dyno test using one on a 3.4 V6 and it actually dropped peak HP.

I can only imagine it making it worse for a 13B as well.

I've had my Dual Friction clutch since mid-November and it seems to hook up pretty good for me compared to the OEM clutch with over 220,000 km on it (slipped like greased lightning). There is absolutley no difference in pedal effort from stock and it has a lot more grab. Guess I'll know for sure in the spring when I test its launchability out against some Honda punks. A lot of guys on here seem to prefer ACT clutches, I think either one will work great.

Anyone got one of those Tornado do-dads??

after the air went through the turbo I don't think it would matter if you had that thing cuz the turbo would create its own swirling
