Heh. The first mod I did was pulling out my throttle body screen. That was over 40K miles ago. I saw the study done on it by some university and ht showed something like 20 or 40 cfm or airflow increase? You guys remember that report? Essentially is stated that the screen does not serve any real purpose except for flow inhibition. Removing it increased airflow.

hey, i have a tornado too... it shaved like 3 seconds off my 0-60 by doing exactly what the product was designed to do...



nothing.




ok, i cant even lie, there are some dumb people out there. luckly, im not dumb enough to actually own a tornado. haha


as for the comb, mines still in. Ive heard the gains are VERY small and not really worth the time unless your doing heavy modding to your car?

This guy has it listed as a mod to his car
https://montecarloforum.com/timeslip...?TimeSlipID=16

He ran the 1/4 in 16.1 secs. i have the same car with more upgrades and I cant run but in 17.5. A friend of mine seems to think it might be the front spoiler???? But idk
I'd say front spoiler sounds possible, although I don't know how much more of a difference that'd make. I know if I took that front air damn off the bottom of my car it wouldn't get scraped nearly as much, but don't know too much about how that'd help in the 1/4...
