Sorry to bring the subject up again, but I just got back from visiting with the founder of the Tornado. He didn't give me a lot of specifics, but did say that they have designed an intake system with a built in Tornado that outperformed the AEM CAI and Injen on a dyno session??? I beleive it was on a late model civic.

I know everyone thinks its BS, have any of you guys actually tried it??

The guy has doubled and tripled the size of his company over the last few years so people are actually buying the units--BS or not.

Wondering if I should just try one--dyno it and put this thing to rest.

Can't wait. My sig will be as follows:
AEM CAI
Volk
Mugen H/E
TORNANDO

Hehehehe.

Yeah, go for it...I for one wouldn't mind seeing it...Dyno should be easy as it's just a 10-minute install

Do they cover engine repair if the tornado touches down on your piston?
