AK_Cowboy - I have a HELIX Throttle body spacer, and it looks like this Tornado works by creating a cyclone effect. Essentially thats what my Helix is supposed to do. But thanks for the info


FX4Nick - You have any links to the FASS you mentioned? I'd like to read up on that. And honestly, 1-2 would be worth it to me. It would save me 1 day in between fill ups, which is all I am lookin for. Fill up sunday night, last me til friday lunch/after work. Right now, fill up sunday night, fill up again wed night/thurs mornin.

I had a 76 Corvette that had a vacuum can; it was needed to open the headlight buckets.

I also had to install one in a 58 Chevy Apache pickup with vacuum wipers; without it the wipers would quit when I was excellerating.

Vano -
Have you tried changing your driving style? Coast to stops, drive the speed limit, increase following distance, reasonable starts at stop signs and traffic lights, etc.? Have you thought about reducing your tire/rim size? Reducing weight?

Does Fitch offer a money back guarantee without some ridiculous re-stocking or other fee? Do you have a detailed mileage log to substantiate any MPG gains or losses?

If so and you think this thing will work, then what have you got to loose?

If not, then consider a programmer/tuner with an 87 econ/performance tune. Most people (but not all) with programmers and custom tunes see a 1-2 MPG increase. Even if it doesn't work, you will get a lot more value out of a programmer and it will be easier to sell if you decide you really don't want it.

Default This issue is a WRAP

Not worth MY CASH, but might be worth someone elses. Thanks for all the inputs!
