Are you looking for more performance or fuel mileage? If it's the latter, check out this page on my site:

If you're looking for more performance, do a search for "deck plate" and "ISR". I think there's even a write-up in the tech section for both of those.

hi noob,
generally the opinion has been no added value whatsoever. search the terms "tornado" and "toilet" and you'll get the same opinion.

I've seen a dyno test with a Tornado and in one test it gained 3hp and then on the 2nd pull it lost 1hp which differences that small are attributed to many variables in between pulls so really it does absolutely nothing. The Helix throttle body spacer does (or doesn't) the same thing. "Twisting" the air has no effect once in the combustion chamber on fuel injected engines.

Reviving old thread...
The Tornado Fuel Saver stuff is worthless on fuel injected applications. Most vehicles already have some sort of air flow into the intake so adding this will either disrupt the flow or not have any effect. On GM vehciles if you own a Vortec engine then it's already doing the same thing, just further into the intake and thus more effective as far as fuel mileage and horsepower. I'm just tired of many people falling into the trap of buying junk when you are just making scam artists richer. Have you ever noticed some advertise up to 10 HP? WOW! 10 hp just by adding something this simple? Come one get real.

Blinker Fluid!! That Changes everything!! "and if you call right now..." On a more serious note, most likely if you see it on TV, its not worth it (unless its on a specialty car program, or something like that)

If these tonado things are so great because they screw up the airflow why would anyone want to do the intake piping mod(the straight pipe from aircleaner to throtlebody)?

You can still get the blinker fluid for 1.99 a gallon though, and lets not forget about the O-pipe exhuast. (This is for competing with the H and X pipes out there!! )
