Tick Tick.. New Timing Chain...?

[StanglovR1]

Recently took the car to the dragway and ran a couple hard races. Everything ran fine until a day or two later. Car has this ticking sound that increases with rev. Did some research and it sounds like its the timing belt tensioners and guides. Car has around 78k miles and it seems like this is a common issue around that milage area...

Thoughts?

Anyone know of a good kit to buy? also should i replace the waterpump with a high performance one? anything else to replace while im in there?

Check for a spark plug backing out. Re-torque the spark plugs to the recommended torque.
