Default Smog pump question.

So i put a new smog pump in the notch about a month or so ago. The box said that noises were normal for the first 500 miles. I'm proly at around 500 miles and it still sqeaks when i first start it up and sometimes when i get above 3500 rpms, anyone know if this is normal or should i be worried that its still making some noise?

sweet proly something going wrong i've had bad luck with this car so far. Owned it for like 4 months and it hasn't run right since i got it, haven't been able to make it pass inspection yet, i think it might now but hte horn died the other day, and there is a chacne it could fail again cause of the F cam, the idle is crap too all over the place. I'm starting to wish i bought something else

bad bearings
Could it be bearings if the noise goes away after about after a few secs and only comes back at high rpms??
