Default NEED SOME HELP!!!!!!

I've been getting a ticking noise from my motor for a couple of months now when you rev the engine up but not at idle and I just thought it was a loud valvetrain since our motors are known for this but my dads friend heard it and said it was definately not normal and that it sounded like a weak spring or something. The weird thing is I talked to one of the supporting tuners and they told me that it's not normal for it to be the valvetrain if it's when you're reving the engine up. Could someone with some knowledge on this give me some possiblities of what it could be. Keep in mind that I ran this car last Saturday and it ran a 12.1 @ 116.5mph so don't think the noise is coming from the bottom end of the engine cause I probably would've blew the engine. Also oil consumption is normal along with oil pressure.

Thanks
Joe

pop the valve covers and check the pushrods and the rocker arms first...
