Tornado Fuel Saver

[IFallsRon]

Has anyone installed the Tornado.

I have asked about these on a Ford truck forum and got a great big JUNK reply from everyone.

I decided to give one a try since they have a trial period (or did have a couple years ago) with a money back guarantee and are easy to install. I actually have 2 different vehicles that take the same one so tried it in both. I really couldn't tell much of a difference in performance or economy in either.

I also have a K & N air filter in my Toyota pick up and that did slightly improve economy and there was a definite improvement in performance.

Ifalls Ron, you might want to pass on that unit, a local news station had it tested with some pretty high tech equipment, performance and milage gains were just not there, money would be better spent on something you would like to add to the fishin'arsenal...

Pretty much like anything that sounds too good to be true. Maybe the answer is to buy more truck.

ron i think its just a gimic . they've been selling in calif. for 5 yrs. or so and are just getting to the midwest. my opinion but when i first seen them i laughed.

It looks good in theory on their slick infomercial, but I just can't see the airflow staying so nice in the intake manifold. With the intake valves opening and closing, it seems to me that the airflow would just get disturbed again.

I also looked into these for my self and saw a lot of convincing advertising. When I dug deeper I could not fined any concrete proof that they work like they say they do. I also spoke a friend of mine that works at a GMC shop and he said he had not heard of them and when I explained to him the theory behined them he was sceptic. He also said that if it did work as they say they do then auto companies would be putting something similar in for their own gains.

I decided not to buy one.
Good Luck!

I would save the money on the tornado and get a K&N. The K&N actually works and it is good for life.

Get a K&N, and Flowmaster exhaust. Ive seen fuel economy improvements of 4MPG on my 95 Chev.

[iffwalleyes]

I put a dual exhaust this past summer on and that was the best thing I ever did. I noticed a great power boost and about 3 mpg better fuel mileage. I already had a K&N and and Hypertech Tuner. I am sure I picked up 20-30 more hp. Plus I now have a really cool rumble when I kick it in the her in the butt.

I heard a funny one about a guy at work who bought a Volkswagen Rabbit a few years back. He was crowing about the great gas mileage it would get but hadn't seen the results yet. Immediately, a couple of the guys started thinking about a little practical joke. Every day, they'd go over to plant maintenance and take the five gallon can of gas and a funnel out to the parking lot and dump it in the Rabbit. After about a week, the guy was really frothing at the mouth about his new Rabbit that got over 100 miles to the gallon. Then they stopped adding the gas. About another week went by and the guy was upset that the Rabbit was now getting only about 35 MPG. So they went back to adding gas. And then stopping again. After about a month, they finally told him what they had done. This was after he had taken the car back to the dealer twice! What a hoot! I think HE really needed a Tornado in his intake! (Or a tiger in the tank) ;^).....T

Another good performance add-on would be a high performance ignition. It will give you quicker throttle responce and better fuel economy.
