lt1 ticking w/hard accel Got a recent problem with my 95 formula, car runs strong, but when I begin to pull pretty hard there's a ticking/clicking noise. Plugs/wires and optispark were replaced and the noise is still there, i believe its the lifters, any other suggestions would be much appreciated

Sounds like preignitioning. Go run some of the highest octane you can find. Add some 110oc if anyone around you sells it. It'll happen more as the motor gets hotter too from heatsoak. Mine was running pretty crappy yesterday when it was hot out. I really need a 160 TStat :S After all, I tuned for it!
