Remember i was sayin there was the "Tornado" in the intake in my car from the kid i bought it from? Well, since i was lazy and didnt want to take it out while i was going down the track it decided to move from where it was and lodge itself right up against the throttle body sideways and block about all of the air flow. Figured it out when i was cruzin up the parkway today from work n the car basicly stoped running. Got out popped the hood took the intake off for a looksy and there she was blocking 99.9% of the air flow. Luckily my cool air intake came ups today7 so intalled it and wat a huge diff.

this is why you do not buy a tornado...it does nothing positive

(i know you didnt buy it, just stating this fact)

Maybe its time to re-run your car when the weather cools out!

I knew that intake set up was up to no good.
