Put three of those gadgets on your engine and you would get an astounding 105 additional horsepower. I'll bet you could really smoke some Cavaliers then.

For starters, look in the 3G Garage sticky thread which would direct you HERE

Then do a SEARCH on Turbonator or Tornado and you will find all the happy talk that has preceded your question.

Bottom line: IT'S BOGUS! Don't you think if it worked, the major manufacturers who are spending billions on improving their CAFE would install it at the factory?

It only obstructs the intake passage. It originally was designed to swirl the air/fuel mixture on carbureted car engines. Even if it worked on them which it doesn't, it would be useless on sequential port fuel injection.

Call them, It's a toll free number. Discuss the merits at their expense. Let them know what a great product this is and what a shame it has not been adopted virtually everyone. Tell them how you disagree with others who think they should be strung up for promoting such a shame.

Not flaming you, my friend, but think about it. Were this true, you can bet your life that every racing team in the U.S. would have installed this product. I'd be willing to bet none have.

No, it's a bogus claim.
