99 Trans Am ticking I noticed it after a trip to the track. Im cammed so I may have just not noticed it before. The noise seems to be coming from the #1 cylinder. It isnt noticeable until warm. Its not a loud ping or knock just a tick...really able to hear it between 1-2k. I dont think its a lifter..at least hope not because I dont want to pull the heads. Any Ideas?
I did search..none seem to match my circumstances. The only vid on youtube that matched the sound is here

Its perfectly normal, every cammed LS1 ive heard does it. Mine has been ticking loud for over 3 years and still runs like this.

DMAN!! that thing sounds good. I prob just didnt notice it before. I fouled a plug at the track. I think that made me paranoid. Very well...Ill go back to beating on it.
