Increase your octane or decrease your timing. No more WOT until you get it straightened out. 430hp? What setup do you have?
I have that zex setup, you might have heard of it

I just realized it might actually be the gas, I filled up just before the problem started, always 93 octane but might have been a bad batch though
Did the ticking happen while spraying? When I just had an intake and tune, my car would start pinging in the summer, but never in the winter. I just ran my 91 tune in the summer with 93 octane.

I think moose is right...
He's going in the right direction anyways.

You might just need more octane.

I just hope for you that it's not a piston pin[8D].

I haven't sprayed with it since its been like this. I just went and bought an octane booster and topped off my gas. Drove around for 25 miles to get things flowing. Guess I'll run down the tank and fill up again and see how things go. I have an appointment at ford on friday just in case things don't get resolved, hopefully it'll fix itself before then.
