i had that happen also when i put my aem cai on also. But it only happens at ceratin throttles. I could be anywhere in the powerband (any RPM) but between 20 and 40% throttle i get that whine/whistle whatever you want to call it. But it only happesn when i'm driving, not when i'm in neutral and rev the engine.

Sorry, didnt mean to hijack the thread.

I love it. My friend's car does this with the skunk2. If he's in gear, and presses on the throttle it's a constant whistle till he lets off. It's a supercharger y0!
