    Ok so about a month ago I got this weird sound when accelerating hard... it starts around 3800 rpm at about 5psi... mods are ssac headers, zzp 3" exhaust, magnaflow cat and res borla mufflers, 3.4" pulley custom intake overkill tune and al104s, plugs and coils have about 10k on them and wires have about 25k, I have a video as well view it here http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/...012_120754.mp4 its very lame and I'm kinda thinking it has something to do with the valve springs but not sure.

    FIXED!!

    it turned out to be the plug wires thank you billboost

    I'm pretty sure it has something to do with either plugs, wires or coils.

    Most common issue in the area you mention.

    If not..it's a piston issue.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I don't think its a piston checked all the plugs today none were bent but there was a little bit of white buildup on part of the threads(possibly running lean) could it b a loss of compression due to piston rings being bad??? I don't want it to b the coils they've been replaced twice this year... oh and I forgot to.mention no ses light either...
