Default tornado fuel saver

Hi Guys,
Has anyone seen or had any expierience with this product. the infomercial was on speed this morning, it has been promoted also on shade tree mechanic.If you are not familar with it ,the web site is www.tornadofuesaver.com. It claims HP gains, i think its too late for Static to test it with the intake comming up but maybe when he does the gs430s he can. check it out guys.

the product might work on older cars, but not the newer ones especially not the stock GS since the ECU is already optimized for fuel air mixture so that wont help any, ( kinda like getting an intake without an ECU )
