Chad, Thanks for the excellent feedback. I get so tired of exaggerated claims by infomercials, but this one clearly takes the cake. For Pete's sake, do they have to flat out lie to people to make a buck?! Unbelievable. Okay, I'm off my soap box...
CRX Content: I was getting a weird feel when I'd step on the gas from idle- felt sticky. I discovered the throttle body idle stop arm was bent causing it to sit at a slight angle to the idle screw (culprit: stiction). A little twist from some pliers fixed it and what a HUGE difference it made.

Actually, not only has that little thing been tested by independent labs, but I tested it for a fuel flow research project at school. But results agree, it does absolutely nothing but disturb the airflow pulses into the intake, give ebayers a gadget to sell for $200, and make your wallet significantly lighter. Don't buy it. Anyone who says it makes their car faster is relying on an ill calibrated butt dyno. -Chad Sullivan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon Bankston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "George Freeman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 8:47 AM Subject: Re: CRX: The Tornado: a scam or what? > scaaaaaammmmmmm > > > > At 08:39 AM 6/20/2002 -0400, George Freeman wrote: > >Anyone checked into the "Tornado Fuel Saver" device on those info-mercials? > >I see from their clever website, http://www.tornadofuelsaver.com that it > >"increases power, saves fuel, etc." Oh, the price of the little chromed > >piece of metal is $69.96 + $10.95 shipping.
