unless the engine is hot enough it is not bad. dont worry about it too much.. dont rev the engine more than 3k rpm when it is cold, otherwise it is fine.

Re: stupid question?

thanks doodad..i also managed to pull a small burnout with an A4..i was like 5 seconds but cool nonetheless!

Hows your stang? I cant get over how beautiful that interior is..You ever think of selling your LT1 and save for a LS1 T/A?

EDIT: The stock exhaust is pretty bad-ass..i cant wait till i save enough for magnaflows though ..Getting my CAI next week!

Re: stupid question?

Don't free rev.

It isn't really 'hard' on the motor, but it sure isn't easy on it either. Spins up too quickly.
