  • Tornado Air Management System, gimmick?

    Spring is here and I was wondering if anyone has used the Tornado Air Management System in any of their F-Bodies? I haven't learned yet how to paste a link onto my topic here but the website is named TornadoAir.com. The site looks interesting with technical data that it works but I'm not convinced. I did a subject search under General Tech and Forced Induction without any results so this may be a new topic to learn the pro's and con's. Any takers? Thanks! I have a CAI kit, exhaust header, cat & muffler system on paper now for summertime installation soon.

      We have dyno tested a few cars here at Thunder, and they have lost a significant amount of rwhp with the tornado

        I bought one around christmas time for my 91 V6 bird.I returned it.Mainly because the size that is specified for the 3.1 V6 does not fit in to the accordian hose.80 MM is too big and 75MM is too small..They dont make an in between size.
