In that case take it to another dealership that gives a flip about it's customers.
Get them to perform the service procedure that the TSB says to do.

Dont fall for them brushing you off man. DONT do it.
And if you could post me a link for the TSB. I'd like to read it.

No TSB. Not yet. Until there is or if there is, you can forget a dealer fixing the issue.. Unless by some miracle one puts forth effort...
The service manager said the more complaints ford gets from it, the more likely they will come up with a fix down the road...

So best bet is to watch the forums for when the TSB come out if it come out.. Kill as many Camaros while you wait..

That sounds like this tick. Sometimes Ford tells folks it's normal, other times not:

I think the OP was talking about this tick:

The 4.6L have whats considered by Ford to be normal ticking of the fuel injectors and on some cars, folks consider it to be extreme. I don't know if the 5.0 has a similar condition... no, wait. "Condition" would imply a problem.... hmmmmm...

I have never had a sound similar to that with my 2012. I have 11,500 miles. Go to a different dealer.

I've figured out a short term cure that works 100 percent on removing the sound with a special blend.

you have the same exact tick in your 2007 with a rousch stage 2?

it's your injectors, it's normal.

with the OP you notice he had to have the camera down in the engine bay to hear it and you couldn't hear it at all from the cabin.. you guys would need to listen to your engine idle with the hood up and head in the engine bay to hear it.
