Thus achieving a more consistent burn and slightly larger burn (more fuel vaporized, therefore more fuel able to burn)

Ah, you've gotta love the pseudo-science sales pitch.
The above sounds nice, but almost every car built in the last 20 years has port injection. In other words, the fuel is injected just before the valves and long after the spiral effect of the hiclone has disappeared. Also, the high pressure fuel system atmosises the fuel far better than a bit of air turbulence ever could.
Somehow they still sell these things though? Oh well, they say there's one born every minute.
