Is this pinging occuring at all times...even when the car is being run hard just after coming up to full operating temps? I live in CA as well and have noticed a bit of ping after sitting in freeway traffic on a hot day and then accelerating out of it.
On moderate temp days, not too bad. But I'll have to tell you, this gas here sucks big time! Do not use Arco...go with mobil or 76 or other well know brand.
I use a bottle of Torco additive and may try the Moroso additive at some point to bump up the octane rating a bit. This seems to make the car pull much harder and eliminate ping during hot temps.
I have the 6097's gapped down to .0315.
Not sure if it's an O2 or other issue...this is all I can speak to from my experience.
If your car continues to ping steady, after the first sound of it, you may have other issues. The knock sensor should detect this and retard timing immediately so it doesn't continue.
I'm sure someone else may have a few more ideas. Until then, keep the boost down...ping can be deadly!
