The Tornado!

okay, i installed the Tornado in my 5. it feels like i'm getting a bit more on the high end, but then it could just be anxiety...

i'll keep everyone posted. it's a pretty cost-effective way to get a bit more horses until you're ready to upgrade to something better!

Dude, you've been taken for a ride...
The only benefit of Tornado is to make your wallet $70 lighter...
Ask for refund while(and if) you still can.

Testing

if i can, i will get it dynoed, but i needed a cheaper way to get more hp and better gas mileage (gas is$1.93/gl). another guy (can't remember who) put it in his mp3, said he got results. i'll give it a few weeks and see what's up.

i'm still unsure about a cai right now. so i figured this was a good/cheap halfway point.

It doesn't work. Several magazines have dyno tested the Tornado in the past, including Sport Compact Car, after getting complaints from readers about their false claims. SCC actually found that the Tornado decreased HP on average by a small percentage. I think they all pulled the advertising from the magazines after the test also.
