Off hand, I'd say that the ticking could be an exhaust leak where the headers meat the block and the bogging could just be a need for tuning.

...but thats a good scenario. Something could be broken/bent/aged/etc. We need more info to diagnose.

well if i put my mods on here then people on other sites will find out

but heres some of the mods....
its a 3** with a cam
and rich groh did my heads
but im thinking its not bogging, i think its just at a certain rpm the exhaust will get louder and its comming out faster through the leak.

...you modified the internals....
Did you get it tuned? If not, there is your bogging/performance issue.

no offense to tony but im bringing it to the people who built my motor...


i also looked under my hood, where the tick is comming from my coil packs that mount to the valve cover are just hanging there instead of mounted...
