Just had it out tonight. I punched the gas at around 40-45MPH, and when it kicked into 2nd, I think I heard some ticking while under hard acceleration for a second (this was in the 3500-4500 RPM range). But when I slowed down to idle, the car wasn't really ticking at all.

EDIT -- I am now thinking that it was due to being close to a guardrail on a ramp (causing a "reverberating" effect). Tried a few times just now on different roads and was not able to reproduce the "ticking" sound I heard before on harder acceleration.
