    I have a 2005 GP base madel with the following mods: FWI, SLP cat back (no resinator), 180* t/s, MSD coils, and recent tune up. At light throttle in 2nd gear or higher it sounds like the rockers are clattering. Only 30,000 miles on it. Any ideas on how to solve this crappy noise. TIA

    it might be the injectors. mine does exactly the same thing. and i though the same thing but i was told to check out the injectors. mine is bad enough at idle i can hear them with the hood poped. if it is the injectors, not to worry, its not bad and you cant really do anything about it.

    mine does the EXACT same thing. its like when you put some load on the engine, usally in second, you start to hear some pinging. your rockers COULD be hitting but that is what mine does and its the fuel injectors. you could change them, i ran fuel injector cleaner threw mine a couple of times and it dident seem to get much better.

    Are you using regular gas? That could be the problem.

    87 octane is fine in the non-supercharged cars.

    i try to always run 89 or higher. And yes it is under warrenty but every time i bring it to the local dealer they end up f#$king something else up and i have to bring it back for them to replac ewhat they broke. they totaly suck. thats why i do all of the things that the cost is minimal
