Full throttle ticking???

When I'm wide open, my 2000 SS makes a fast "ticking" noise.. Like, between 4000 and redline.. Something to panic about? I'm running premium fuel and everything.. So, what is it?

If you're cammed I was told its common for a lot of valvetrain noise. Mine makes a similar noise, think its a lifter? I'm no mechanic so who knows....

see if you can get a vid up. could be a bunch of things. is it more of a "ping" or is it a plain ol' tick? Check your rockers, 22 ft lbs i think. (Don't quote me on that number, search)

I would tighten all of your spark plugs too, my buddy came to me one time with his Z06 and said he heard a ticking sound coming at high rpms. We started the engine up and threw a light down there and came across a loose plug that had just rattled loose. Problem Solved. Sometimes it is just the little things

I usually get the ticking when I start the engine, its cold and the oil is starting to move through the equipment. Once though I am at operating temp am good so the thing is;

what oil are you using? Second
what type of MODS do you have?
If you have mods did you change the oil pump for a ported LS6 or a Melling product.

Also it would help us give you better advice if you posted mods and such not just throw a bone, then wonder Y ur not getting answers.
