Default Tornado

I feel safe asking this here - I can't see you snicker! So has anyone used one of these devices (the Tornado)? What were the results? The LS1 induction seems well suited for it... Thanks!

I saw the info-mercial on that. They had several people yammering on about how there fuel efficiency was increased, I was scheptical until I saw them put a '95 Impala on a dyno and filmed the results as they took place. 210Hp stock at the wheels then 220Hp with the Tornado. I suppose you could fake it. I would like to see more #s though before purchasing.
