WHAT I DO KNOW is that when I added the Tornado to my 5.3L Silverado, it made more power and produced slightly better mpg #'s.
Thats that.

I cant believe Im actually researching this tornado thing.
Is it supposed to work like a propeller or turbine engine creating higher pressure on one side of the blades?

the only reason i bought it was to test it at the dyno day we did at fuel injection specialist they were very surprised as well. If i can get HPE to let us do the test again with everyone there (for free lol) then we can see if it works on the trucks or not.

I have it. I think it does something, but not much. It is DEFINITELY not worth the money. The only reason I got it was because I had a gift certificate I needed to use. If it only cost like 10 bucks and you were messing with your intake system already, I would say yeah go ahead and pop one in there.

Well it doesn't cost $10, that's the problem!! I think I paid $40 but I have seen it for like $69 or maybe more. Total rip-off for a cheap stamped part.
