you think head's are expensive? try blowing that motor up. THAT's gonna be expensive.
well the thing is, it ticks, but at wot its fine. Idk its hard to explain, I guess the timing map changes at WOT. Even my tuner said at idle and partial throttle it does it, but when you floor it the ticking goes away and it runs fine. Thats what I dont understand.. In all reality I wasnt planning on racing anyone at all with it, I just so happened to be 2 minutes away from the house when an srt4 with like a small vinyl, and at least full exhaust/bov on it pulled up next to me sayin hes having some probs but wanted to do a short run. I gave him one shot and took him but I suppose I shouldnt have. at partial, half or 3/4 throttle it ticks a bit, but at wot it doesnt and seems to run fine since I got it back.. Im gonna be taking it easy, but Im gonna be looking on corral.net for some afr's (even 165's) or TF to replace the stockers in the next month or so.

we have all said it.

i dont think anyone here think's its the heads.....(unless a crack in them or something) and from what i gather, most the guy's here think it's in the tune, or something silly.

maybe even a header leak?

i would be investigating more myself, and taking it to a DIFFERENT tuner.
