go to www.bgproducts.com
it's like 15+ a can but if would. I only pour it in 8-10 gallon of gas..you can even use it straight into the fuel rail which is what alot of shops do
put in a can of 104+ see if this helps<edited><editID>vfast</editID><editDate>37929.8487152778</editDate></edited>

The lifters are not normaly adjustable,they can be with different rocker arms or if the heads are converted to screw-in-studs,the most common cause like what was said earlier is either spark knock or an exhaust leak at the header to cylinder head connection.You need to look where the headers bolt to the heads with a flashlight from the top and from the bottom to see if there is any gray or black soot on the head,I would also just try and tighten the header bolts.

If it only does it when you stab the gas real quick,that is almost always spark knock.Try backing off the timing a couple degrees and see if it goes away.

I had the exact smae problem and it turned out to be the clutch or something like that for the a/c and heater fan. Next time you hear it turn on the fan for like 5 seconds, then turn it off. For me, the clicking stops after that until the next time i start the car.

well its definatly not the headers, and like i said it happends the car is cruising at like 1500 rpms, thats when i can really hear it, but only when i press on the gas. I'll see if it clears up this weekend when i do some tweaks.
