Maz is your guinea pig

I had one of those tornado knockoffs laying around and figured, what the hell? My dad bought it a long time ago and never used it. So I figured I''d give it a shot seeing as there''s people who think it''s great, and those who think it''s garbage. I''m pretty sure I know the answer, but I''m trying it anyway.

2005 3.0 auto Sport, paper intake filter, 93oct, 18 mpg average. We''ll see what we get after these 5 gallons.

Kinda along the same lines as a Throttle body spacer....Snake oil IMO

That''s what I figure, but hey, why the eff not? I might get surprised. Took a cruise in it, and the butt-dyno feels a little power, but that could be falsely perceived. I''m looking purely for MPG here and not driving any different than normal.

I agree, it''s worth a try..it might actually prove to increase your MPG by 1 or 2..who knows..[;)]

you know i noticed something odd... maybe someone can try this as well. I have left my car in "sport" mode for a week now and it seems like i get better mpg! don''t understand how.. but i do.

Mazarin -> RE: Maz is your guinea pig (6/30/2008 9:42:17 PM)

Ok, I can try that. I''ve also got a K&N coming in a couple days. I can leave this tornado thing in if the MPGs change @ all, then try w/o it. Then I can try leaving it in Sport and see what that does.

@ least it''s something to do lol.

i think yours is always in sport... hey Mazarin, are you coming to the East Coast Jaguar Meet 2008???

Mazarin -> RE: Maz is your guinea pig (7/1/2008 7:03:12 AM)

Nah, I''m in Chicago :P

As for sport mode, I''ve got a switch on the center console. It''s off... for now >:D
