hey guys! well i didnt sleep much last night so i stayed up and watched infomercials. haha well i watched the ad for the TORNADO air stirrer. it creates a wind tunnel that stirs the air coming into your engine, fuel injection or carb. it supposedly increases up to 12 horsepower and increases fuel economy and over all performance. Is this a crock of sh*t or what? you know how those stupid infomercials will influence anyone to buy ANYTHING. so has anyone tried or used the TORNADO? does it work? thanks guys
You can get the air to swirl all you want, but the engine (save for forced induction motors) is still a vacuum. It will just suck in whatever air it gets, and it doesn't care it the air is swirling or not. Save your money and don't touch that kind of stuff. Stay away from oil and fuel attitives also, unless it serves a true burpose like fuel injector or carb cleaner through the gas. All oil additives are basically useless and are junk. Z-max is the worst of all the stuff... mineral oil disquised as oil treatment... it can kill your engine. Also, electric superchargers don't work.

I also got suckered in and turned around and sold it. DO a search this subject has had lenghty previous conversations which I am sure nobody wants to repeat.
