Does this sound bad to you. I'm worried its a lifter or valve or something because its only on the passenger side. The drivers side is hardly noticable and may just be the passenger side echo.

Did the intake and charger come all together or did you have to put it together,are the injecters seated all the way?

Does the noise go away on throttle or change pitch or tone?

I had a flex plate go out and one shop told me lifters,another told me injectors, flex plate was busted around five outta six bolts, but it changed tone and pitch under throttle,off throttle in gear and different tone in D or R.

injectors are brand new came with the kit and already installed on the charger. I have always heard valvetrain noise more after the long tubes but thats because the material is thinner then stock manifolds. It just has me worried because its only on the passenger side.

Sounds like valve train noise to me.. Take the valve covers off and check over everything. Make sure theres nothing obvious..

when you say obvious you mean what? I have done all the work on my truck with the exception of the tuning and the paint but the internals of the engine and heads is something that is out of my experience level.

Sounds normal to me. Does it go away after it heats up fully or after driving for a while? I heard valve train noise when mine was stock (stock valve train that is). Mostly when started from cold though.
