Nope, you're still in the feedback and testing forum but that's ok. I've moved your posts into their own thread within Talk section of the Fox Body forums.

So now.... you're in the right place.

Ask away.

Welcome!
Can you elaborate on the whistle? Does it get louder as the rpms or speed increase?

I have a similar issue at a certain rpm or throttle condition...haven't pinpointed it yet, but kind of think its egr or tb perhaps? (edited after above post)

It's a very common problem with the BBK's. I am a lucky one and don't have the whistle, but I've heard of many cases where it was the culprit
