Same problem years ago when I got my 01. I put on a Honker CAI and mine is an oil burner too. Instantly had serious knock that you could actually feel the computer detune while running through a gear. Felt like someone was pulling the ebrake at exaclty 4K rpms and up.

Added headers and ZO6 cats and then I needed to tune it. Ended up having to add 12% more fuel with my Predator handheld tuner. No more knock since then, even in the heat here in Phoenix.....unless I punch it at 1500 rpms in 5th or 6th
I have to seafoam every 6 months or so.
I live in North Phoenix, let me know if you need any help.

Low RPM in a high gear then going WOT causing pinging is pretty normal then?
