Boost Gas Mileage and Performance With TORNADO; Green Under the Hood

    SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif.--May 24, 2001-- According to the recent article in SEMA News, another by-product of the search for more efficient, less polluting products is the discovery of "bright ideas" that really work.
    Not every product that extends fuel economy requires a redesign from the ground up. An example of this is the TORNADO Air Management System. Promising more power and better mileage for less than $100, the TORNADO's biggest problem is that nobody tends to believe its claims.
    That's how Ron Bell, department chair of Saddleback College's Automotive Technology department, felt when he first heard about this unimposing device.
    "It was about six years ago from one of my students," said Bell. "It came with some wild claims and sounded too good to be true. I know how hard it is to gain horsepower and mileage at the same time. So, I contacted Jay Kim, TORNADO's president, and he agreed to come down to the college and show me some samples. I also started testing on our chassis dyno and saw some positive results.
    "I ended up putting one on my Volvo and noticed a difference right away, especially in part-throttle response and the mid-ranges when accelerating on the freeway. Mileage improved slightly, but I'm not a mileage freak; I care about performance, so I put one on my Corvette and also my dual quad powered big-block Aston-Martin, and again noticed a difference right away. I've seen more improvement in mileage and have noticed improvements in hydrocarbon reduction in our emissions testing program here at the college."
