Default Just how much power??

Will this add??The whole time i have been driving the T/A, I thought the car was bone stock?? But to my great surprise it has a POWER ADDER, and I didn't even know it. I took the whole airbox assembly off the car and looked inside and look what I have. I have the TORNADO POWER ADDER!! I knew the car felt like it had a extra 50hp on the big end of the track, but I just thought that it was normal. But this explains it all now. The price on the pullout motor just went up!!

Yeah man, put it in your new motor. I heard when combined with FI they are worth 100hp instead of 50.

This reminds me of the time I was stopped by a middle aged gentleman in the parking lot of the PX on Camp Pendleton when I was in the Corps. He complimented my car and went into this draw out speech about the tornado and it's effects on hp and fuel mileage.

I couldn't help but stand there and nod my head because he was such a nice guy but when I finally got out of there I felt as if someone had vomited on my brain.

I bet you'd gain more just by weight savings if you took it out over whatever hocus pocus they claim it does lol. Better yet, unhook your shadow off of the car that's good for a few tenths lol.
