it probably was related to the stillen intake... after trying every gas out there & moving the temp sensor closer to the cone i still was getting pings at low rpm under heavy throttle...but no more
i just reset my ECU (by disconnecting the battery for an hour) and the engine is finally running smooth again. i just hope i didn't cheese up the engine by pinging it for 6 months.

I doubt you did any damage. But I do have one quick question. Were you pinging all the time at low rpm under heavy load or just some of the time?
