oh ok chris gt. well the rest of that stuff is junk, but cant go wrong with a k&n filter and a tornado. they dont make a tornado for a gtp, but i put a k&n filter and tornado on my torrent gxp and it picked up 6 tenths in the quarter.
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
