Default Chirping noise after Ls7 install

I had an Ls7 cluch, Ls2 flywheel, new stock master and new stock slave put in my 2001 SS about 1,000 miles ago. Everything was fine until the other day when the car started making a constant chirping sound under any acceleration. The chirping is not present when the car is in neutral and it stops when I let off the gas, regardless of the RPM. The clutch still feels the same and there is no slippage to speak of. Any ideas on what is going on.

Worn bearing somewhere maybe. Its could also be non-clutch related.

so it makes the noise in any gear while acclerating but not decelerating so when the car is in gear and your hitting the gas it only makes that noise?

so what moves when your on the gas but doesnt move when your off?

All I can figure is that maybe the clutch is slightly slipping and is causing the noise, but it feels fine.
