SC Install resulted in 50 more HP...suggestions needed

Are you sure it's not the throttle body noise? They whine after shutdown, and then you hear a click.

RT Tuning is good. They'll solve your problems. $100/hr is pretty standard for shops. Boosting a car that came from the factory NA costs more than you initially budget. If you can't afford to have a good shop look the car over and tune it, you sure as hell can't afford not to. A replacement shortblock is LOTS more money than a few hours of diagnosis and a good tune.

It definitely was louder right at the throttle body, but thought the sound could be from the MAP too and it just happen to channel the sound out the rubber connections louder than via the metal plenum. But yes, perhaps it is just throttle body noise because yes as soon as i hear a loud click...noise is gone.

If I dont put foot on brake when I push button once nothing really happens...push it again and accessory goes on and that is when I hear the noise (assuming I drove the car and turned off the engine). Doesnt make the noise when the car wasnt run. If you listen closely in the video you can hear the swishing of the SC water reservoir. The pump does make a slight noise...hmmm persay, but it is not as loud as that noise and the pump is under the driver side headlight. I moved the phone over there in the video to show the pump was not the source of the noise.
The only "real" PLX sensor I have is the boost (pressure sensor) tube tapped in at bpv and run into firewall. Injectors are from Still kit (600's I believe) without adapters. Next time I take it for a drive I will check to see where the click is coming from...but yea i think it is probably coming from under the cover.

I guess I will shelve it for a little and save up for a tuner. I have a few parts I was going to get which have required a retune...so I guess that would be the time to get them.

I cant thank everyone enough for your thoughts and your concern to help out.
