Default vid of idle, ticking noise what is it?

http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...t=MOV00048.flv

hope that link worked if not let me know. you may have to have your volume up pretty load to hear it but its a higher pitched sound i thought as an exhaust leak but i cant seem to figure it out. Also my car consistantly runs at about a 2k idle after i rev it up and wont go back down till it sits for a minute, any ideas on how ot fix that? i havnt had the car dynoed yet but its commin soon!

sounds like valve tap, if your nto running high octane gas put a few tanks in it.

im not too sure how to fix it besides what i said, the tune will def make the car run better, the timing may fix that.

anyone with a HCI done have any input? i cna see that the elbow for my TB hits my valve covers, i think this is causing an vac leak. im htinking a small spacer would fix that issue but why would trick flow sell that **** andit not fit together properly?

is this something you just got together and its making this noise or was everything ok and all of a sudden it delevoped a noise?

if you just got it together, i would think maybe rocker arms out of adjustment
