I'm pretty immune to the haters by now - but coming from YO-EL really surprised me because we have met in person.
I met him at Carlisle, heard his car rev and I was quite impressed and very complimentary about how it sounded. And it did sound good - headers, no cats, cammed. It's not like I dissed his car - or him - so why the hate on Christmas?
Oh well, takes all sorts to make a world, I guess.
I'm just having fun in my usual foolish and irreverent manner. I guess that irritates some...
Too bad

Cams? second too, I think.
Plus, the man's an educator - offering photographs that take you step by step on how to install long tube headers. We should thank God that he's not a surgeon for real - the do-it-yourself appendix removal spread would likely be taken for real.
But my favorite - was when he described the A4 tranny as an analog computer - and on this basis installed a shift kit by himself. Ok - so he didn't get it right the first time (or the second) but he did it - and has a great deal of faith in his God given skills.
Merry Chistmas Steven!

<I can't breathe!>
SidYes, very true. Unlike most here I do not just post "look at how clever I am, I installed <insert mod here> perfectly the first time." I usually don't get it right the first time - and I'm not ashamed to admit my many, many mistakes, misteps, 180s, backtracks, turnarounds and precipitious falls
My shift kit was a good example (took me 3 tries to get it right), suspension (4 tries), stereo (3 tries), cam (going back in tomorrow
)I also do not cut a big check, drop my car off at a Tuner and then claim "I modded <xxxxx>". The only work I didn't do myself was to ECS for my drivetrain and that was very documented.
So if just one person learnt what NOT to do from my comedic expliots, then I have done well.
I am bone-stock Troy if anyone cares...didn't think so
