Save your money.

All the thing could do is force more air into the engine. The oxygen sensors would realize that the car is running lean (if the MAF didn't already tell the computer) and tell the computer to add fuel to bring the air-fuel mixture back to the ideal range. Dumping more fuel in is going to make the car use more gas.

Yea - who needs a blower. It's just gonna hurt your gas mileage. :)

As for the Tornado - i know of 3 people who have actually dyno tested it with absolutely no gain in power, if not some lost. It's just blocking the air from moving down the intake tube. :)

The tornado will not force more air in the motor. If anything, it will cause turbulance and prevent air from getting in. From what I have seen, it is supposed to help mix the gas and air better, but with the SHO intake runners(V6 & V8) the air is broken up in so many directions, the spiral effect will not even make it to the cylinders.

It's the perfect size to put in the bottom of your toliet. Flip it around and you can pretend your on the other side of the world. Wheee! Also helps for faster flushing. (results may vary, parts may break off over years and lodge themselves in your pipes, not responsible for damage, void were prohibbited :p )

Have fun!

Seriously tho, doesn't do crap.
