As the cylinder pressure increased so did the noise.

Maybe something to look at...Check out your exhaust manifolds?...
Well, we know at least 3 or 4 SRT's have this symptom... I cant imagine all of us would have manifold leaks. But, we'll see! I wish I was more savvy about this stuff or I'd be helping... best I can do is grunt and point.
