It shouldn't, sounds like maybe an exhaust leak?

yup, it'll tick...I havent heard a hemi yet that dosnt tick, stock or not...you also added the 6.1 springs also, right? The 6.1 springs seem to be a lil noisier also than the stock springs. My truck with the comp 260, 6.1 springs, and 6.1 rods sounds like a typewriter

Yea, I'd not be too alarmed. The Hemi ticks anyway and adding a stronger cam & stronger springs would probably increase it a bit...
