anyone tried one of the tornado things thats like a fan blade u put in your air intake? i was just wondering if it made much of a difference in horsepower or gas mileage

Just be happy Brent isn't around anymore......

Welcome to XOC BTW!!!

No,they only waste money.
Nothing you jam in you intake will increase anything,it only decreases airflow.
Try a name brand intake instead.(eg.Volant,K&N) They will help.

Popular Mechanics just did an article in one of the recent articles, they tested several different bolt on stuff that is supposed to icrease mileage and power. One of them was the tornado, another was those magnets on the fuel line, another was one of those water injection kits. I don't remember what the others were, but I do remember that they said that NONE of them helped. As a matter of fact, some of them actually hurt the mileage. I think the tornado actually hurt the power AND the mileage!!

I found the least expensive way to get somewhere sooner was to leave earlier.

You just take the fun out of everything TJ!!!

this is the second thread this week on this kind of product isn't it? haha skip the tornado thing, just put stickers on your truck, its about as effective as that thing, remember, vinyl adds horsepower

I did notice a small increase in gas mileage after installing an Airaid intake.

My theory is that the SC was straining to suck air through the stock airbox (same airbox as the non SC) and that caused the engined to hard to turn the SC. After the flow was unrestricted, the SC turned easier leading to an ever so slight increase in power and mileage.

About the AirAid Spacer now I know alot of post are out there on this one. I did put one on my X only because I got it for super cheap. And I can say it did not do anything for my rig. Now I do still have it on because it does make the X sound like it has a big 4 barrel carb on it. Maybe for you with the SC it did, but in my rig it just sounds good.

I actually did notice a slight improvement in performance with the spacer. Even if I didn't I'd leave it in, me likey the sound.

I bought one of those tornadoes from ebay.It didn't do anything for my mileage and i actually had less power with it in.I noticed it on the highway when I would go to pass someone and the engine would hesitate and sputter.well, as soon as I got home that day I took it out and tossed it in the garbage.
Just my 2 cents.

HEy i have tha K & n and tornado together I do agree tha tornado thing makes tha engine(3.3 N/Sc) gulp gas but im pumpin out 232 Hp 239 Lb torque 12.5Mpg city 21.5 Hiway im satisfied And the tornado is only a watse of money if u dont like buying gas but i bought it for tha power i got dramtic results
