so i have noticed with my trans am when i get into to gas i can hear a growing creeking almost popping noise. it almost feels like a binding problem. i have a new luk stage 2 clutch but it has done this for a while it kinda feels like its stealing power.
i have sbc phb cntrl arms and strut tower brace it make 378 to the tires on the dyno so why dont it feel like it when i try giving her?

any metal shavings, low on oil, make sure there isnt any play in the rear end. while the trans is in gear, try rotating the driveshaft. i think that is one way to check if something is wore out somewhere?

Does the noise let up when you step off the pedal?

Are you able to locate the noise? Meaning is it under you, towards the rear or front?

Describe loss of power. Was this before the clutch install or after?

Check the u joints on both ends of the drive shaft.

How's the rear look?
