Hey I'm getting this high pitched squeel sorta sound like one that comes from a really old car as im driving. Not sure if this is normal and it only happens whem im moving and when i slow down it stops. I'm thinkin maybe a bad belt or something?

Sounds like you are describing the intake whistle. Does it happen primarily between 1500 and 2200 rpm? If so, it is most likely the intake. It will whistle louder if you put on an after market intake.
