Sounds like snake oil to me. There are always little gadgets like this coming out, none of which will produce horspower at the rate of $2.00 per 1hp. Unrealistic in my opinion.

I tried the "Tornado" same thing. I have a Evo intake and I was at the parts store so I said why not. I see a little smoother acceleration but by far no HP gain. Oh and it only works at speed over 30 or so(forced air). Not worth $70 bucks maybe 15-20 but thats it.
