I'm sorry I haven't updated this, I doubt anyone cares anymore. But I took the car to a ford dealer, they looked at it, revved it a few times untill the ratelling stopped, and the car runs fine. I'm up in Wyoming right now, and I drive the car all over every day. I did a compression test on the engine and I had 150 psi in all the cylinders, which is pretty impressive for over 7,000 feet above sea level. I took a bore scope and looked into a couple of cylinders and noticed a lot of carbon. I think a piece got hot, broke loose and ratteled around for a while. The car runs perfect though, like new. (I haven't put the blower back on, but I am really itching to do it.) I think that I got a bad tune with the Custom Diablo chip and had a lot of carbon build up. I can't stress this enough get a good tune!!! It's worth the extra $400 or what ever you pay. I'm going to buy new pistons and rods soon, to lower my compression ratio, and crank up the boost, then I hope I won't see any problems anymore.
