I was at AutoZone today picking up a part.
I was checking out the accesories section,
the decals and the fake hood scoop that
sticks on with tape. Has anyone bought any of
these items? Any good results? Any good low priced things there to spruce up a Galaxy
Silver Grand Prix GT?

AutoZone accessories are all made in China junk. If you want to fit in with the ricers in the civics, go right ahead lol

Sorry but the tornado did not have any affect on your quarter mile time. Those things do not work in way, shape, or form.

i gotta call bs.. unless you mean by picked up being slowing you down.

6 tenths is huge
not even an true CAI would get you more than a tenth
if you do a lil research you will see that there are TRUE dyno tests that show you actualy lose HP and torque from a tornao


there is no way a tornado and a K&n picked you up damn near 3/4 of a second.

if that was the case why wouldn't the people who drag race for a living all run tornado's on their cars

do you really believe that your engine doesn't mix the air and fuel enough? if you think that you have never been into an engine past the filter.

sorry to come off harsh but tornados are BS

back when i was in HS my auto class actually did a test with one. we lost between .5-2 HP on average

well 2fast4u i dont know weather a tornado gains or loses hp. but all i know is after i installed a k&n filter and a tornado on my torrent gxp it went from 15.70's to 15 teens. so i dont know if it from the the filter and tornado or from it getting broke in and picking up on its own, it just kept getting faster every time i ran it.
