Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Yeah sounds like belt noise in your case. To confirm, pour water on the belt when its chirping, if it stops, its the belt.
Piss the stock lifters off if you can.I put in a set of Morel Tie Bar Performance Street Lifters.You can then do away with them crap lifters and the plastic lifter trays.
They cost $500 from GM Motorsport

If doing this, you will need to machine the heads and install new head gaskets. Looking at another $350.00
Plus standard pushrods will be to long, need to change them looking at another $220.00 or so.
May as well install a cam while your at it, with better springs.

That's the way to go I think, new cam, lifters, the works. Once I'm off my Ps I'm driving the SSV down to VCM to have a cam package fitted
To many issues with the stock valve train.
Out of interest, I have heard that there was a change in the stock lifters used by GM some time in 2008. Out of interest, when was your car made?
I put water on the belt this morning and the squeek went away but didn't last long you can't hear it much on idle but when the revs are up you can I'm worried now
