pinging after start up from storage?
Tank was full, had stabilizer in it, warmed it up for a good 15 minutes. Drove slow the first few miles, then on hard acceleration, pinged like crazy.
It's Lar's tuned, although that was 2 years ago, but nothing touched since.
Any ideas?

I guess I was thinking the gas was 2 years old based on the Lars mention...you just meant it's been stored since Oct. with a full tank. Okay, that's a lot better than 2 years. In that case Sea Foam won't do much.
I would look into timing, as you may be advanced a bit, and your fuel mixture might be subject too, considering it was treated with Stabil.
