If you get one post how it works. I've seen that alot and almost got it. I think the idea is like pooring milk out the container, it flows better if its swriling or something.

Consumer Reports did a test on the "Tornado" about a year ago and all the cars tested actually lost power.

you guys are nuts...
if you read my post i was admiring how good the marketing was and if you watch the whole infomercial it makes you think it will help

im a firm believe in saving your money only for hp gains.

you gotta admit though 5- 20 hp and 24% better gas mileage does sound good for 3 easy payments of 24.99

It's a complete scam. I suspected that when I first saw it, but I looked into it out of curiousity, only to find that it was a bigger scam than I originally thought. Just look at the advertising... Many of their print ads advertise it as a supercharger! Not to mention, the gains they claim are just plain absurd; it sounds too good to be true and it is. The "physics" behind it are flawed. You'll also notice that they keep renaming it, probably to keep people from catching on. I'm suprised the FTC hasn't shut them down yet.

There are a lot of worthless automotive products out there that are being marketed as big performance items. The oil/gas/etc additives come to mind... The FTC sued a whole bunch of them for deceptive marketing practices, and most of them were real big respected names. Z-Max is the worst, it turns out that their crap is just colored mineral oil! That news came out a while ago, but I can still find it at Checker and other big auto parts stores. Don't buy into hype or hearsay, you'll just ruin your car. Just remember... if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
