Has anyone installed this in their cars? What kind of gain did you see? www.spiralmax.com I was told that I could see a gain anywhere from 35 to 45 HP.

Okay but this is a different product than the tornado fuel saver. Spiralmax claims that theirs is better since there will be 2 installed in the intake.
