I haven't changed the spark plugs, yet. However, the mechanic pulled one and stated, a little worn, but still in decent condition. As far as the possibility of the incorrect installation of the Blackwing, nope not the case.

Thanks for suggestions.
See your post 11

"If changing the sparkle plugs is not the answer, why would they make such a suggestion? Maybe they're fishing, perhaps?"

Ok, I took car back to the Corvette Specialist & had both knock sensors changed. Needless to say, pinging still an issue. I mentioned the fuel pressure to the specialist. He stated he check the fuel pressure and fuel pressure's ok. No vacuum leaks, etc.

Need help, don't know where to go from here.

Thanks,

Motor has been pinging for a couple of months... and so then you cleaned the MAF? or You cleaned the MAF a couple of months ago and then it started pinging?

As mentioned, I cleaned the MAF long before the longing and after it started.
