Wow! Congrats on your times man. Definitely lots of power with your trap.

Thank you...but there's a new problem now. Since I put race gas in at the track, my motor has developed a ticking noise from the top part of the motor. I went to see a friend at Infiniti and he tried resetting my VVEL Thursday and Friday...the noise is still there. So now we are going to do a compression test this week.

Th car still drives fine, AFRs are on point, gas mileage is around 15mpg, and I still did 1 more 1/4 mile run and have been boosting it since with no problems.

Thank you. I'd estimate my power to be around 450-470whp with the trap speed. It's definitely not making the 506whp when I was tuned at Z1, but I am just running a GReddy TT base map that Z1 sent me. I don't want to get the car retuned until it's 100%. I was ready to get it tuned until the noise in the motor started on October 1st.

Your power of around 450-475 is great! I'd like a little more to fully utilize the potential in 3rd and 4th. It's too easy in those gears with 400 whp on tap

BTW, can you post footage of the sound with a light revving? Have you checked the oil content to see if there are any shavings?

Could be inadequate oil/oil pressure, lifters or VVEL system is failing.

May be from the high boost (highest for the vhr ive seen) and the VVEL system is breaking down from it??

could a bad head gasket cause you to lose oil pressure in the heads?

I hope you find the problem
