Stay away from them. I've watched those shows on SpikeTV most of them you can practically smell the bullshit sponsor motivated crap through your TV. Seriously watch one of those shows with those guys and if you really are a well versed car enthusiast you will find yourself laughing at them. I was ripping on them when they did a special about an 05 mustang they fitted with intake/exhaust/nitrous and how "crazy fast" it was then they ran into an early LT1 firebird (stock by its sound) on the street and barely beat it and they talked about how amazingly fast the GT was.

There is a reason you don't see real sports cars with these things. If they really were durable and efficient then you would see every N/A car with them.

When I think about Tornadoes, I daydream of them getting sucked into turbos and combustion chambers and wreaking all sorts of havoc. I wish I could make a cartoon out of it, but I don't have time.

Thats awesome. I think the designers are either brilliant and fooled a lot of people, or forgot basic conservation of energy rules.

I hate to say it, but it really does work. I had it on my 03 S-10 and i got an extra 25 Miles per tank. It might help on performance but i really didnt notice.
