Rattle/ticking sound above 4000 rpm

Possibly just the naturally noisy valve train. Might try some ester oil next change; it's supposed to help quiet the valve train.

... VVEL is pretty noisy.

However, you should hear a similar noise (maybe not as prominent) even at idle. I've had an NTB tech tell me that I had some "spark knock" going on when he was just hearing the VVEL chatter with the car sitting at idle. Stick to tires and batteries, dude
