Default Pinging...Yikes

Recently, I developed real bad pinging under heavy acceleration. I surfed the site and was surprised to see how many of you have had pinging problems (some solved and some unsolved). Anyway, I am bringing the vette (01 vert) to CARTEK on 8/7. I know Dave will work his magic. I will let you know the outcome. Maybe it could help some of you. In the meantime, I need to leave my lead-foot at home.

Your post is probably in the wrong place here...

My Dyno tune at New Era Performance in Rochester, NY took care of the pinging. I was running lean, lean, lean, lena, lean...

I see you had some issues with your blackwing install. Did your pinging start after that?

If so then you might want to check all your connections to make sure there are no leaks.

I had some pinging prior to the blackwing install. Got worse after the install. Actually, once I figured out how to disconnect everything, the install went fine. I checked everything and no obvious leaks. Thanks for the response!
