Tornado Air Management Systems recently announced Balkamp, Inc. as their newest automotive aftermarket distributor. The company says the agreement makes Tornado available through any of the 6,000 NAPA stores across the U.S. Tim Sherer, product sales manager for Balkamp, says even though the Tornado device has been on the market for 10 years, the product is just now coming into its own. According to the company, NAPA/Balkamp tested the Tornado in several markets in the southeast in late 2001. After successful introductions in those markets, Balkamp has introduced the product to all NAPA Auto Parts stores nationwide. In addition, the company says Balkamp implemented a marketing campaign to help educate the 37,000 employees in 6,000 NAPA stores about the product. "We liked the product so much that we gave one to all our district sales managers to use in their company cars," Sherer says. According to the company, the Tornado air device requires zero maintenance and pays for itself in a short time with increased power and miles per gallon. It also works well with today's sophisticated computer-controlled vehicles to give drivers better options in energy efficiency, regardless of the size of the vehicle or its engine. With documented average gas mileage increases of 10 percent and, in some cases, as high as 24 percent, Tornado is also increasing vehicle horsepower by as much as 15 percent, the company claims. Priced at an M.S.R.P. of $69, Tornado is environmentally friendly and has a 30-day money back guarantee and a limited lifetime warranty. In addition to NAPA, Tornado is available through JC Whitney, Camping World, Sears Auto Book, Cabela's, RV/Truck Performance Shops and more.
