Please help, car is making horrible loud ticking sound.
I had to take an emergency drive down to Florida from NJ to see my father who's not doing well. The car performed flawlessly, I checked the oil and all was well.
After arriving I drove my mom to the walgreens and as I started the car I had the windows down and heard the ticking. It's loud!! It gets louder with engine speed. Is this the notorious valve tick? I'm hoping it's not something very serious, now I have to go to a local dealer and hope they can resolve it before I leave in about 1.5 weeks. Any input?

Oh by the way I have a steeda intake and tune, I didn't do anything too abusive to the car either. The car now has 5400 miles after the drive down to florida. The first oil change was done at 3500k miles, and it's running full synthetic.

I may be able to text a video, or soundclip to someone and perhaps they can post it for me. The best way I can describe the sound is like a valvetrain tick or even a rod knock or bearing tick.
