RE: What MPG and HP increasing devices NOT to buy!
I have had a hard time geting them to work. I have tried an MSD 6A with my old 88 ford truck with a EFI 351 and it worked for about a week and then it seemed like the computer just rejected it. it started missing all the time and i checked every thing spark plugs heat ranges plug wires distributer cap and rotor. and when i took it off the motor started running normal again. and my freind tried it with his 91 mustang 5.0 and he had the same problem. as soon as he took it out the motor worked its way back to normal as soon as the computer basicly reset it's self. I have herd people have had good luck with them on carburated motors.

RE: What MPG and HP increasing devices NOT to buy!
I know a guy here in town who is a plumber... well tries. He totally rapes his customers I mean if you call him, its gonna cost you a grand. I asked him one day how do you get away with charging so much for your work and the junky stuff you put in? His response was " This is a big town too big for people to ever figure it out, So I don't get alot of repeat work.. again its a big town with alot of people. Same goes for these junky add ons, how much are you gonna bitch about a $20 - $80 part? It will tick you off and you will tell everyone you know... but " ITS A BIG WORLD"

RE: What MPG and HP increasing devices NOT to buy!
The K&N filters had 2 different testing done, Fine Dust and Course. The Stock filters only were tested with course dust. The difference between K&N vs. Stock filters the course dust test is very slight. While the difference in air restriction seemed to be much more restricted for the stock filters. From the presentation of the data, it is unclear that the after market filters are really as bad as they are protrayed. Additionally, the benifits may outwiegh the hassle of keeping the filter nice and clean. What does everyone think?
RE: What MPG and HP increasing devices NOT to buy!
You mean to tell me that none of you watch the Speed Channel & have not seen the Tornado commercials? they are all over the shelves at the local Pep Boys. Bob Villa vouches for them in the commercials & I believe anything that comes out of Bob's mouth.....
My real reason for posting: Anybody remember the engine oil additive brand or name that was being sold via commercials on the Speed Channnel about a year or so ago? I remember they were so confident in the stuff; they added the stuff to the engine oil, drained the oil, & then raced the vehicles around a track without any oil in them! Only reason the commercial caught my attention was that one of the featured vehicles was a 68-71 Ranchero..... You just might notice that that 1\2 hour long commercial is no longer on the air......

Wow, thanks for shedding some light on those products. It's true, I was a little curious about the Turbonator and products of the like. I always thought "how can spinning the air give so much performance gain?" Guess it was just a load they were shoving down our throats...but, I guess if a guy I worked with can sell a rock on ebay, then they can sell these "wonder" parts (no joke, I know a guy that sold a rock on ebay..just a plain rock from the parking lot)

lol...the sad thing is most people who buy "twisters" and "tornados" actually leave great feedback
they actually make themselves believe they feel the hp and mpg difference...i know its not fair
these sellers should be set fire to
