Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Tell me about it.... But that's what they do.
Even if they had been passing by at a really slow speed, the squirrel probrably would have darted the wrong way and gotten hit/squished anyway.

 


What's there to tell you about it? If they had been driving like a normal person, they hadn't been accelerating into that corner, seeing the animal yet continuing to throttle, eventually to a point of almost killing it with absolutely no other cars around.

You brake and slow down, put your hand on the horn and beep boop a few times until it runs away. Doesn't require a genius, does it?

Moving away from the topic of people who can't drive properly, we might upgrade from our A4 Quattro soon...

Trying to decided if I want to impulse buy a new cam for the Sonoma 😅

I think about $1,000 would get it done, just the cam, pushrods, springs and trunnion upgrade.. no lifters or other upgrades.

Same cam I had in the G8, so pretty mild but still decent power increase over stock.

 

Just not sure if I want to mod the 5.3 or not 

I'm gonna say you should do it because it'd be cool

 

unless you've got better things to do with it.

please tag me for a response, It's really hard to keep tabs on every thread I reply to. thanks!!
