Thanks man! People are surprised to see me a guy fully tattooed from the head down, get out of this car. They're expecting someone completely different. My wife finds its funny, since we're complete opposite looking. Criminal vs librarian. Lol

Learning new stuff is great. Now James, tell me why I have a fast tick. Someone said its probably the aftermarket cam. Sounds sewing machine-ish. Gets louder and faster with the rpms.

the ticking sewing machine noise is normal if it a consistent tick, headers also increase the "ticking" sound because the the headers doesn't insulate as much.
and before you ask, when you shut it off the car with the clutch pedal out, it would make a rattle, thats normal too. have fun
