Default anyone ever use this?

has anyone here ever heard of or used the "tornado"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Perfo...Q5fAccessories

i would think i might gain some hp from this + a BFI since it acts like a turbo, sort of, by forcing more air in.

Sorry, there's an enormous difference between eliminating restriction and creating boost.

it more acts as something that'll break off, fly through your intake into your block, and kaboom. that'd be 1 helluva combustion.

i don't see how something that spins from the passing air will create more air. that'd be like saying the windmills create wind.

You should definitely get one. I added it to my car and it turned into a rocketship. My car can now hang with my Hayabusa. Best money I ever spent. But as mentioned above, get the superchip too.
