no the noise is different. before was more of a knock, this is more of a loud tick. the tuner did have to put all new plugs in cause it was breaking up on the dyno. i dont know if that makes a difference, but no i havn't pulled out the plugs. i'm just checking things as i hear about them.

do you think the ticking may have been a exhaust leak?? or was it more of a slap sound...occassionally I hear such on my rockers at idle that comes and goes but not really noticable when hood is shut and at cruise speeds.. I have adjusted rockers twice and slight noice is still there

no its plenty noticable, my exhaust is loud and you can hear it over it. i highly doubt its an exhaust leak because at idle and during deceleration the noise was still there. and it would have to be one hell of an exhaust leak, but again, i'll check that tomorrow. also checking the plugs and converter bolts.

Does/did it make the noise at idle? You sure it isn't you fan or something stupid like that?

What did the tuners say about the low dyno numbers? How was your air/fuel ratio?
