Ok, I just got back from Dallas(600 mile trip to break in heads and cam)

Well, my car just started running like crap. It will be running fine, and then just start missing out of nowhere.

The funny thing is, that if I keep the car moving in gear, let off the gas, and turn the key off, and back on again real quick, it clears up. And then it will start doing it again.

I tried un-plugging the battery, then the computer to reset everything, and after I did that I started it up, and it immediately felt like it lost 40-50 hp...it won't spin at all in 2nd.

I also developed a mysterious ticking/crackleing sound on my passengers side inside the motor somewhere, it is very eratic, not in sync with rpm. It is not an exhaust leak, I think it is a clogged lifter, or something.

Guys PLEASE help, I am desperate. Thank you
