that tronado on tv is it worth it?

Post by saiyajin »

Hey I saw this thing on tv called the tornado which costs about 70 bucks. it claims to give better gas mileage and hp because of the way it distributes the air when placed properly. I would like to know if any of you have one or know some1 who has it and if it is worth getting based on any significant changes noticed?<P>Ash <P>their site is <A HREF="http://www.myauto.tv" TARGET=_blank>www.myauto.tv</A>

Its the same kinda scam, unfortunately there is no such thing as cheap horsepower.

It has to be a scam. If it actually worked, car companies would oem the device. It's like Zmax, which has been proven to INCREASE :eek: wear on your engine. There is just no such thing as free power. Just follow the three basic rules: Less weight, more air, less friction ( synthetic lubricants have been shown to marginally increase horsepower and decrease friction ( which equals fuel efficiency)).
