What octane are you using and what company? Bad gas could be one thing that would gas pinging.

Default Does it need to be decarbonized?
Occassionally there can be a buildup of carbon on the Piston, this causes the Compression to be increased which can cause pinging.

I think BG 44K may be able to help.

I finally went to a GIAC chip and a K04 to stop my 97 from pinging.
