Here's some research that supports his line of thinking....

That's a comparison of several modifications of the intake on a 3.4L
V6 4Runner. While the Dragon thing isn't in it, the K&N filter and
intake tube are and I woudl imagine it is comparable to the Dragon
setup.

In my opinion - if horsepower gains (or mileage gains) of any size can
be gained with the easy additions of some of these types of products,
especially the more inexpensive ones like the Tornado thing, I would
think that we would see more options or standard additions by the
manufacturers. I remember the Slick50 craze and thought that if
there was any merit to it claims I woudl see someone in charge of a
large fleet of vehicles (City, large company, etc) state that they
used it to save X number of dollars.

I always remember what my dad tols me regarding the chemical gas
additives - the best I can hope for is that it WON"T damage anything.
