EIDT: Oh and it's a scam.

and they are sneeky too....in an obvious way...they tell you right there on the site that your increases in power and torque will be from 0 to whatever....HOWEVER....your results may be different....which means YOU can actually LOSE POWER and TORQUE....and if you do....they told you so!...

yep this is the same POS as the tornado.....its a total scam....and its a shame that enough people have fallen pray to such companies allowing them to remain in business.

Believe it or not, my cousin's girlfriend who owns a chevy cavalier installed one of those tornado's and it actually improved her average gas mileage by alittle over 2 mpg. I think that the tornado can be effective but only on few and select cars.

I think she paid $70.00. Those are the gains that she told me she has been having. Maybe she's exagerrating a little bit cuz I was clowning her when I found out she purchased it.

What is SpiralMax ™ ?

SpiralMax ™ is a combination vortex generator, velocity stack, and venturi, made of stainless steel, installed in the air path, that extends the resident time between gas and air, maximizing vaporization for better combustion. It's beneficial for the engine, and is compatible and enhances the performance of all common aftermarket products, it is synergistic.

Look at all the aboe technical crap. It's just there to confuse peopel who don't know better to think that the company has spent countless hours researching and developing this product when all they did was bend a piece of metal. Wtf is extending the resident time between gas and air supposed to mean, and it's synergistic. WTF?!

i don't think it will give you anywhere near to 30 hp if any. But, if the air is turned into a spiral it SHOULD save you gas. I don't know why i will research and see if i can back my theory up.
But as to the money back thing all im sayin is if anyone wants to try it and it dosen't work send it back and let us know for SURE it dosen't work. And yeah i know the thread is like three months old but i was curious about it.
