Tornado Performance Booster

Tornado on JC Whitney

Anyone have one of these things?? It seems like a good investment. As soon as I get my intake this week (hopefully) i'm gonna measure the inside of the pipe and order one. At least if I dont like it I can send it back.

Yeah, don't waste your money on that piece of trash. You're going to pay hard earned money for that new intake right? Why would you want to clog it up with that tornado thingy?

Later,
Adam

Get it and let us know.

Seems awful expensive to just try out though.

Junk, junk, junk....actually decreases performance. They market it like a "turbo."

It is just like those splitfire sparkplugs and the old Honda no rust beacuse of the positively charged ions "black box".

Good in theory lousey in practice.

Yeah really, save your money, I've seen it in action. Last summer we were out at the track, and this dude with a GTI VR6 had one in his Neuspeed P-flow, ran 15.90s, he comes back we take his intake apart and rip it out, next run pulls a 15.60 + the indicating mph trap.

Which track did you run at? Just curious. I'm trying to find out which tracks are available to me here in the DC area. Thanks!

Dustbuster, when my friends and I go, we usually go out to MIR in Budds Creek MD, which is probably an hour east of DC.

Cool! I really want to hit the track and find out what my CL can do.

Maybe I'll be spraying by then!

Just let me know! Thanks!
