I've seen the infomercials on this product, and have been tempted to try it. If you do get it, please start a thread with your results. Thanks.

If it works then let us know. All i'm interested in is MPG. I'll make one of those before I buy it though, $70 for a twisted metal thing...

LOL... don't waste your time. Besides for the product not working I believe that the parent company is being sued for false claims. Here's some more reading....

I think what the real deal is that it works somewhat on older carburated cars and they are trying to make it work for newer FI cars which it doesn't.

I saw the infomercial and saw them dyno a car and showed the screen/results... the funny thing was that when they put it in the car for the second run they had a K&N FIPK (intake) on the car, so i wonder if they did the firs run without the FIPK...

Sheisty bastads!

My friend's Dad is a mechanic, he's from Peru and he used to tune up rally race cars over there. He said the a friend of his which was the first one to design that over in Peru said that all it does is save gas but it doesn't add any kind of power. My friend and I were gonna get it and when he told us that, we didn't, since he likes racing cars we figured that he wouldn't lie to us.

This might not make a difference to you guys but I bought one back in 96 for my Nissan Sentra and it did absolutely nothing. Big waste of money and a piece of crap. I'd rather buy new wiper blades or something before that junk.

Don't buy it. I've not heard a single good thing from one person about the Tornadoe.

i put one in my 94 chevy 4x4
i noticed a little difference in gas
but it also helped a little where my truck felt realy sluggish

VXCL you got a truck like my old one
you know when the truck shifts in to second gear when your driving normal it feels slugish

it helped that a little but not much

mine was also free
