Re: squeaky noise coming from the engine..
Could simply be something like the idler pulley bearing. I doubt it's inside your engine. It most likely has something do with the drive belts and/or drive pulleys.
To test this theory, take all the drive belts off and start the engine. If it is gone, it's one of the accessories. Then put on one drive belt and run the engine. If it's still not squeaking, put another drive belt on and see if it starts squeaking. If it still doesn't squeak, put the last belt on and see if it squeaks. This should tell you which accessory is making the squeaking.

+1 for accessory belts. Sounds like you have wrong tension on one, or one going bad, or a pulley problem.

Re: squeaky noise coming from the engine..
dam... because yesterday i was "racing" a friend for fun (first time racing) (no one was there so it was safe), and i ripped through 1st and 2nd to 7k rpm and before the race i did a little peel out . after the race the sounds appeared out of nowhere and i freaked out. lets hope its the belts.
