This is always more pronounced at low vacuum at WOT. The valve lash hot is .012 intake .018 exhaust .
Not to highjack(more to offer thanks to Barry and encouragement to the o.p), but I just adjusted my valves and it made a pretty noticeable improvement. All but 2 where tight and none were loose. A couple were pretty dang tight. It seems much happier at hwy speed
