Need help !! North Alabama
You are probaly right. It's a real damn shame you can't take a mans word anymore. Guess it's my fault as well I should have done a little more research first, O well this is where I'm at now. Thanks for the comment !
At the OP expense, this is a learning lesson to those in the market for a car. Do NOT buy a car that has a nitrous kit on it. Most of the time, guys selling nitrous cars are selling them because they beat the ever living **** out of it and now it's starting to have problems.
yeah i wouldnt buy a car that had been sprayed unless i knew it well or drove it for at least 30 or so miles till i knoew the engine was warm and not knocking... its easy for someone to spray the guts out of ANY car
Pulled the vavle cover, no issues with rockers or pushrods. The sounds really seems to be under the intake now. You can feel it on the intake bolts, cant feel anything on the valve covers or heads. My luck its a rod or something in the bottom end.

Go ahead and drain the oil out. Cut your filter open and have a look to see if there are any pieces of metal in there. It sounds to me like a possible bearing failure. It has slightly low oil pressure, should be around 40 @ idle.
Did you pull all the pushrods? You need to pull them out, and roll them across a glass table or something flat. Shake all your rockers and listen for anything that sounds out of the ordinary, I've heard of the needle bearings coming out of the stock rockers. Definitely drain the oil and have a look though before running it anymore.

my bet is bent pushrods and a spun bearing/rod knock
my car had 3 bent pushrods, a spun bearing, rod knock, failed lifter, every valve hit every piston, a bearing shot out of my water pump, and still survived about 10 runs on the dyno making 302 rwhp before we decided to shut it down and pull it apart to find out what all the noise was about

Your for sale thread states that you bought the car with the issue. Here you say it didn't have the issue until after you bought it and claim the seller was dishonest with you. Just curious why you have two different stories?
The car was running right when we traded, when I started to head home about 12-15 miles the noise started. My for sale ad was copied and pasted from a CL ad that my buddy listed for me. I didn't even notice that, Thanks ! I will get that changed, as I have nothing to hide. Sorry for the different stories!
