50hp? You sure about that? The guy on the comercial says his vette is fast and has a loud stereo and he seems plenty happy with his tornado air thingy.

Re: tornado air foil

If it does what it says then yes it will help just be careful.I like how he set it on top of the propeller and it started turning like crazy but when he took it off it stopped almost.

Yep, it's been tested on an F-body on a dyno and they consistantly lost around 4hp using it. Don't waste your money.
