Ls1 "Tick" So my buddy has this 1999 Z28 LS1 M6 w/ 70,xxx miles. Mods are Lid, filter, some LS1 free mods, & a CatBack Exhaust.
Anyway, so we went to do a quick run between my 3rd gen and him in his 4th gen. Of course he beat me, but I think he over-rev'd a gear or missed a shift.
So the car started to make a "ticking" from under the hood that goes faster as rpms go up. And it kinda feels like it stops pulling around 5500rpms now. What could be the cause of this tick?

Tell him to pull the valve cover and check. its an hour job to pull the covers, pull the rockers, check the pushrobs, and put everything back together.
