Tornado Fuel Saver

Hi guys,

just curious about this thing ive seen on tv. its suppossedly creates a vortex when air passes thru so more air can go in faster and moake more power and better fuel milage.

has anyone tried itin general and to go further, has anyone with an RX-7 tried it?

what r ur thoughts ppl?

Carlos

p.s. - i emailed them and they have a model speciaifc for an rx-7......so its not just for V8s like some ppl have said.

I know a guy at my school bought it for his Hyundai Elantra... That should say enough there. He says it added 30+hp... And I laughed at him. If anything, it would restrict airflow, causing you to burn more gasoline. Stay away from TV advertised 'modifications.'

ya they dont do ****.... i bought one for my old truck when they first came out many years ago and i was not as educated as i was today heh, nada zip zelch cero.... not a damn difference in gas mileage or throttle response... like i said a long time ago the only reason this is on the market is to take advantage of the not so mechanically inclined people... gas prices are rising right so marketers decided to start slapping "BETTER GAS MILEAGE" on **** whether it was true or not and BAM it sells like wildfire... the world of advertising has gone to **** i know DONT BUY IT
