Does the DP chip also do this?
I have this same when doing the stronger acceleration (with all three settings, but the +110 hp is the worst as it get so fast to this rpms) and it hits 2900rpm.
Today I put it back to stock and noise gone as well the power

I was thinking it is defueling??

Could very well be defueling if you don't have something installed to hide the extra boost from the PCM (I use ITP's Overboost Annihilator). Look at your boost gauge when it makes that noise and see if you're at ~25psi. You DO have gauges, right?? You'll also get a CEL/SES light when that happens.

I have an overboost anhilator, i was reading about it on adm, so i think its just something with the tuning, more reason to get a dp.

Yeah, today I put the Tow Safe mode on (+70hp) and that sound is back when hitting the gas. If you keep it under 2900rpm it is ok.

DP has been on my list long time. So it is soon the time to order it.

Stock, 40, 80, and 140 SMOKE . I try to run 80 eco most of the time, but 140 smoke is just awesome. I've had it for about a month or so and the novelty isn't near gone yet! I'd recommend the 140 SMOKE.. but I have zero experience w/ 120 race. I have a BTS valve body too, I'd recommend that.

Stock, 40 Tow, 60 Tow, 80 Econ, High Idle

The 80 Econ has GREAT throttle response, as do the rest. The 60 Tow smokes a lot more than the 80 Econ.. just FYI ... I really can't keep my foot out of it now, so the "econ" idea isn't applicable at the moment.

Lucky, my injectors need replacin, and of course im not getting stock ones again(Single shots) so i need to wait to get the injectors, and get the chip at the same time. So until then, i guess i can put up with hearing my motor rattle apart.

I've go the 60 tow, 80 econo, 120 race, 140 smoke. You gotta get the 140 smoke (now called aggressive).

I find myself moving my passenger side mirror down so I can watch the black smoke roll out. Guys, am I the only one out here that does that?

No... I have duals angled outwards (hey they were on the truck when I bought it) so I get both mirrors and the rear view enjoyment. Agreed, must get 140 smoke!

120 Race smokes plenty as well. I have no start, stock, 80 Econ, & 120 Race. Once I decide what to do with the tranny (BTS VB vs. other options), I'll get a couple more tunes...
