I have Great News, I got my Brick out of the shop today and they say the clicking noise/problem is with my lifters, and is most likely not caused by uping my boost, they drained my freshly changed oil and put in 5W50 Fully Synthetic instead of 10W30 Fully Synthetic and the noise is very very quiet now. They say to drive for 200-300mi and if the noise doesnt go away by itself then they are going to open my valve cover and check things out and possibly replace lifters if that is the problem. Well I upped my boost again =), It now runs 15.5psi max sustained boost, and it has had no problems. The clicking noise is the same if not maybe a lil bit quieter. Anywayz I cant believe my ECU is allowing the boost I am putting out. Tommorow I think I am going to add a 2.5" Cat Back Exhaust System, Or should I get a 2.5"/3.0" Down Pipe First??? Also Does anyone wanna check my figures, I believe that by upping my max boost to 15.5psi, I have just by doing that alone upped my max hp by 68.558hp (15.5psi - 9.6psi = 5.9psi x 11.625hp) Giving me 290HP and 290lb/ft. Does That sound about right. Thanks for the input.
