These things are about as good as a throtle body spacer is for your truck. Good for nothin'. May "possibly" work better on a carborated or TBI engine. [sm=badidea.gif]

we sell these at work and have sold maybe 2 in the last year. think about how its supposed to work. its supposed cause a vortex of air. well when was the last time you saw a tornado go around corners? also if you put it closer to the TB there just isn't enough room for it to produce the effect that it supposed to.

I had a friend that got one and it was nothing like what they show. If you want better fuel mileage and a little more throttle response for little money, try a K&N Air Filter. Everyone that I know that tried one has found better fuel mileage and noticable throttle response improvement. It is a cotton gause design that you just wash and re-oil when it gets dirty around 50,000-100,000 miles. They cost between $40-60.

Look a little closer. Swirl keeps the fuel mixed. Swirl is designed in to ports,piston tops and combustion chambers. BUT you can swirl air around the air filter and Thottle body And it will not make a noticeable differents. After all that tornado action the air hits the butterflys and is sucked through a tiny slit . No more Tornado.
