I had the hc in my last 99 with gears, catback, lid, shifter, tuner. My latest 99 has the 224/228, same bolt ons, ls1 edit, and ASP pulley. It runs consistently 2mph faster but a traction limited .06 faster et. I noticed a guy dyno'd with jethots and lsx with a hotcam 387rwhp which sounds to be as much as I've seen with the 224/228 with all bolt ons. I'm getting ready to install jethots with hooker y next weekend. Really beginning to wonder if I should go back with the hotcam. This thing clacks the valve train like no other (xer). I've noticed the latest trend is to have monster duration and reasonable lift ie <560. Anyone with ideas let me know.

PUt the headers on and maybe you won't hear the valvetrain clicking?

I have the 224/224 .561 114lsa cam with crane dual spring kit and with headers I don't know why..but I don't hear any clicking?

Could it be the springs you chose rather than the cam?

Just guessing..

Put the headers on and amplify the valvetrain noise.

Do you have roller rockers on your car? I have heard that they can lessen the noise somewhat.
BTW, Your car wouldn't happen to be a red Z28 with ZR1's and the front grille removed
would it?

Thanks guys. I'm not necessarily freaking over the noise, but it is kind of gross. I have scoggin dickey springs and ti retainers, so I'm sure that a part of it. Stock rockers.

Mine is a pewter 99Z with REDLINEZ on the plate. Stock 16's lowered. Pm me and we can meet up some time.
