Verdad Gallardo ya i do to, but i have good oil pressure and ive been ripping on it seeing if its ready to take to the track and it hasnt seized up or anything. im wondering if it is something to do with the alternator and crank pulley not bein lined up good. ill take the belt off and see if it goes away.
no, im still running a ported 52 mm. i havnt gotten around to putting the 58 on the car. but it does sound like it is coming throu the thottle body. if i didnt know better tho i would sware it had a gear drive lol. i dont get it
Did you take the belt off or are you still waiting for someone to tell you a Kabookie dance will fix it?
Did you take the gear off when you put electric water pump or leave it on? If it is on and with belt off it still whines you will have a candidate. Keep looking here and it will be next week and you will be no closer to a fix.
Good luck

Did you have the intake ported when you installed the cam?If you did,this might sound crazy but it happend to me.I was doing a head and cam swap on my buddys camaro,he bought a fully ported intake from Arkansas porting,I got everything put back together,sounded real good until it warmed up.Thought maybe spun a bearing,nope pulled the intake off and removed the oil valley pan on the bottome of the intake and found that whoever did the porting on the intake DID NOT PUT THE PLUGS BACK IN 
There are 6 pipe plugs in the bottom.Just a thought.It was building pressure in the bottom of the motor and made it sound like a squealing pig.Good luck,keep us posted
