Took the car for a spin yesterday evening after getting the plenum pull finished and all buttoned up.

Seemed like the idle was still a little high...guess I need to check that primary throttle plate actuator like rhipsher has suggested I do.
So, I stop and blip the throttle, get it to idle down then decide to blow the cobs out a little. Nailed the throttle from a slow roll and before I could catch it, the back tires let loose and I hit the rev limiter...I think...tach flashed 8k. CRAP!
Drive the rest of the way home, no issues, but I think I hear something.
Go out today to drive it down the road and definitely hear something now.
Pop the hood and hear a clatter that seems to be coming from under the drivers side cam cover.........#$%)@((#&%*()&()#*@$&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

So, if you were to venture a guess...lifter...cam lobe??? I think I'm in the same boat as VetteMed...don't have the dinero's to pull the motor or to send the car to Mark or Corey right now. Is pulling the cam cover for a quick peek a big job that can handled in the garage?

CRAP CRAP CRAP...
