Unless you have a one-cylinder motor, it's snake oil.

Already did long ago after the television commercials. It's snake oil. Purchased only by the gullible.

Becareful. The Tornado might be listed by a corvette part vendor as giving 30 h.p.. We have more powerful motors here. wink wink

These are increadible... Everyone must have this. Well, that what they told us in the 1970's.

Hurry everyone, go buy one before they run out

I was going for 4.10's and an H/C job but since I put in the tornado, I am skipping all these mods. It is the best money ever spent on my car. Talk about an SOTP difference.

If you live in Michigan do not use the tornado. I installed the tornado last year and my Vette was found in a tree in Kansas.

Yes, I could see that. Now that magnet dealie that goes around your fuel line to completely "atomize" your fuel before it reaches the injectors is a great compliment to the Tornado.
