Default 2 cam questions

First question:
I love my cam, but after only 2 weeks I am hearing ocasional squeaks and rattles that never existed before. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> So before parts start falling off in the street at stop lights... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> , would it help to have some sub frame connectors installed? Has anyone tryed this to quiet noises from the cam vibrations? I need to get some anyway.

Second question:
After a cam, is it normal to be able to hear your valve train inside the car? Sounds like a damn sewing machine under the hood from inside. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It is faint though, but I couldn't hear the springs and valves before without lifting the hood. Car is running great, just curious if this is normal cam side effects? Thanks.

The sewing machine sound I am refering to is the valve train noise, not the idle. Idle thru exhaust sounds awesome, valve train noise doesn't sound awesome.
Also I have never owned a Mustang...LOL, my first car in high school was a 71 Camaro, I've been driving camaros and vettes for 25 years now. Yes, that makes me an old f@cker at 40. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
