what fuel are you using? try a higher octane and see if it goes away.

currently i am using the cheap stuff 87 octane, the good stuff it too expensive. I will run my tank dry and fill it up with the higher octane fuel and see what that does.
thanks

Could be an exhaust leak. More pressure under power.
