    Tick identification please

    Doesn't really sound bad at all. If you don't hear it inside the car while driving I wouldn't worry about it. :snoopy

    Limp mode problems

    If he popped a 200A battery fuse the car shouldn't run at all. i.e. No B+. Shouldn't even be able to crank it. Got a VOM (Volt/Ohm Meter)? What is your DC voltage (across the battery with engine running)? Any codes?

    06 gt transmission wiring harness issue maybe

    Recommend reviewing these before you sink a bunch of money.... Transmission issue https://www.s197forum.com/threads/transmission-issue.154396/#post-2589440

    “Clocked” or “twisted” axle

    Something definitely looks off... Get the alignment checked. Then look for adjustable LCA's if needed.

    Help

    Wow, the only thing I can liken that to is when we were kids we'd take playing cards and affix them to the forks of our bicycles so they would make noise as the spokes hit them. Totally useless but gave us a rush/engine sound that only 8 year old's could appreciate. Yes sir, those were the days...

    0o GT500 Knock

    Detach the drive belt for the supercharger and spin it by hand. Should spin smoothly without any resistance. If not, pull it and check the vanes.

    Header Gaskets

    If they disconnected the O2's any chance they could have switched sides when they reconnected them?

    Anyone know what wheels I have ?

    If they're stock they should have a number somewhere (usually cast/stamped) on the back.

    First time Used Engine install

    Always good to be able to refer to a manual and a couple of U-tube vids... read/view first. Then ask questions and be sure to have a couple of friends who have removed/installed engines before. Note: be very careful not to pinch/nick/destroy the wiring that runs from the engine bay down and over...

    MY14 incorrect wheel alligment

    Good catch...Take it into a collision center and have it inspected/measured. Likely Lower Control Arm bent/pushed back.. hopefully nothing worse but better to check and be sure than find out later that frame/other damage occurred. LCA is easy to replace provided frame mounting points line up...

    front end rattle

    In my case it was the lower shaft (which is relatively easy to replace). If it's the upper might be lucky to get one out of a junk yard.

    Brembo Brakes upgrade

    If you're going to use the 4 pot Brembo's up front (perfect fit for your year) do yourself a favor and get refurbished units for a 2008 GT500 at an auto parts store. Mine came with gloss black powder coat and only cost me ~$130 per side at the time. Bought OEM disks/brake pads/dust shields and...

    front end rattle

    There is a U-joint in the steering shaft that can loosen up over time just due to wear & tear. Mine did. Issue replacing them is finding one is exceedingly difficult these days (if that's the problem). A good alignment shop should be able to pinpoint the problem in fairly short order.

    Can't get camber close, even with camber plates and bolts.

    JC, thanks for the correction (literally skipped over that second sentence)... Only other thing I can offer (besides being too low) is how old are your LCA's? Last time I experienced a similar issue (too much negative camber) I found the cup for the ball joint on the driver's side was slowly...

    Can't get camber close, even with camber plates and bolts.

    Lowering increases negative camber. Try spinning the upper strut mounts 180 deg (make the cut out point IN towards the engine instead of out). That should get them closer or even within spec. Agree with JC - take it into an alignment shop. They should be able to pinpoint your problem in fairly...
