Default Engine noise

Well my 383 has about 1500 miles on it. When I am accelerating(can only hear it with the cutout shut) it makes a chattering noise. I am pretty sure it is coming from the engine and not the rear/tranny. Its sounds kinda like a deasel running whe it gets into a pull. I am thinking it is something in the valve train and I dont think that detination would be that bad or lasted this long. I had a tune done by PCMforless but havent had a scanner hood to it yet. The only codes it throws is a skipshift code and a MAF code. Any help??
Here are a list of my mods.

Always run 93 since I bought the car. I dont think it is derination cause as long as ithas been doing it I dont think it would have lasted this long.
