Have you done any other mods to the car?

If not, I'd start with a good tune from Lidio or Reinhart first, and then continue from there.

Are you are talking startup rattle that lasts for a second then goes away? If so, thats normal on cold starts til the tensioners pump up.

Mine and Twin03's does that but it sounds like it comes from the top of the motor when started up and then goes away after a few seconds. I def notice it more when the car sits for a long period of time (days to weeks).

10w40? Engine calls for 5w20, try a thinner oil with a motorcraft filter and see what you get.
