JET TPI air foil or Tornado?...

You all seen the commercial with the Tornado, where it doesn't spin, but it does spin the air, circulating the air, making better atomization. Does this really work? How bout it compared to JET's airfoil, which is better? Any one have these mods?

There was a post about 4 weeks ago that was talking about the tornado and everyone came to the same comclusion....that it was a gimmic. I say you'd be better off with the air foil.

How does the 'tornado' of air decide which throttle blade it wants to go though ? (I'd rant more but we all know it's a joke)

P.T Barnum would be proud of whoever developed the "Tornado"

fugly car?

I have 2 IROC-Zs, a '70 chevy shortbed big block truck, a '72 shortbed big block chevy truck, and two Vegas..

if you wanna talk trash, go right on ahead, but my owning a Vega has nothing to do with this

i just have one question for you.. and it's a serious one..

Why would you believe an infomercial on tv? I mean, that ProLong stuff isn't what it claims to be, either..

later

oh, and one more thing..

my car may be 'fugly' but it's 2400lb *** could walk all over pretty much anything on the street..

i hope you don't think this car is fugly, too '74 Vega with a ZZ3 pumping out nearly 450hp running into a Ford 9"
