Yup...opening up the secondaries on a big-block with 4-BBL carb tells you why they call it "the loud pedal." Even the noise under the hood is loud.

Funny thing about the Avalon oil issue - the VWs made over the last decade had the same issue. Seems that to fit the 4 cyl in the Passat they just created a smaller oil pan. The turbo then "cooked" the oil into sludge which cycled through the engine more due to less capacity, and then, if you are not a big maintenance person, BANG - your engine goes south. Mine didn't seize, but VW got up front about it and rebuilt the entire top end of my motor for me. Nice Volk, those VW volk. For now, I stick to my VW.
