do you have stock valve covers?
the high ratio rockers will often hit the oil baffle on the stock covers. you may have to use an extra thick gasket, or get taller covers and a phenolic spacer so your intake will still fit.hopefully you won't have any hood clearance issues...
ain't cars fun!

yeah, probably because above 2500 rpms, your motor/exhaust overpower the misadjusted rockers.
edit: meaning, it's still there, you just can't hear it.
