Barbecue smell in engine - SRT Forums

Honestly that's the best way i can describe it because after smelling it it made me a little hungry. I don't drive my car hard nor do I have any mods to it. But just yesterday I was shifting a little past 3k and noticed this smell coming through the air vents when I parked. Opened up the door and took a sniff obviously no body was cooking anything so I left it running. Popped the hood and smelt it distinctly behind the engine bay on the passenger side. Let a minute or two go by and it's gone. No clue what it is but it doesn't smell like burning rubber or metal. And now today I noticed as I let off the gas in between shift I could hear a low whistle like a SSQ BOV. Obviously I'm dropping it off at the shop tomorrow but any ideas?

funny, i thought i would have had a helpful answer by now. i know some old timers move through these threads. so where are you guys. my car doesn't even have 30k on it yet so it can't be the clutch. and besides i don't try to chirp my tires, wot shift or race at all. it's my daily driver.
