I saw another post online from someone who showed why this mod doest work, but I cant remember where it was.
This mod supposedly only works at WOT, not at all times. A CAI or any intake providing more airflow at all times is something an ECU can learn and compensate for. For the few seconds only at WOT that this mod is on, the ECU wouldn't be able to learn and compensate for the added air provided even if it were true. And without an ECU adding more fuel to the mix, there will be no power because all that air is useless without more gas.
As far as their dynos go, if you go to the Tornadoes website, they have dynos too. They also had chars and diagrams documenting power and mpg gains of up to 24%!!!!!!!!!!!! Dynos and results that no reputable source has ever been able to replicate. Super Street and car and Drier dynod that thing and ran it on closed loop test tracks before and after install with the cruise control on. Ther resulst were 0 hp gains and 0 mpg gains although they did have a weight reduction of the $60 or so they had in their pockets.![Wink](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Its always Buyer Beware with new types of mods like this. In this case, Im not buyin it.

I have an Idea,
Asiankidd, since this place is in Santa Ana, why dont you go down there, tell them that you have a potential LARGE group buy but you need some real evidence to convince us that this thing is up to par. Then, ask the people down there if they can slap one on your car and dyno it and get some real results. If they are agreable to this, problem solved. It cant hurt to ask. They might even be willing to do it.
