yeah stay away from that
at high rpms it cant keep up with the engine and doenst let all the air the engien wants in....
its not reliable, or functional
same deal with the tornado **** that goes into the intake... THEY DONT WORK!! (at least on hondas) maybe it does on a Dodge engine wich cant rev past 5200.... but on a Honda... its not good!

If its the thing (tornado) Im thinking it is, its been around for years. Its basicly a fan you put in your intake. Its SUPPOSED to spin and suck in more air. Unfortunetly, if it does this at all, its offset by the fact that your plugging up your air intake with this fan thing. Ive also heard stories of these things coming lose air getting stuck in manifolds and TBs.

Im pretty sure one of the mags did a test on one of these a while ago, and basicly they found that they lost about 6 or 7 horses while using it. I think it was import tuner, but cant remeber. Dont get suckered into it, spend your money else where.
