SCT Tuner Review on stock motor..
#81
#83
I still carrying tuning products for 96+ models
#85
Mine is light and day difference. I took it off one day because I was getting some really bad pinging and couldn't even drive it for 10 miles I got so used to having the extra throttle response and power. I had to retune it and I just deal with the pinging. I'd love to do something about the pinging under load because it's really bad when I hit overdrive but engine still runs good besides that. I have a 180 t stat and everything also.

Try running some seafoam thru the intake. It helps clean out the combustion chambers, and can reduce pinging.
Pinging, or, spark knock, or, pre-ignition, whatever you want to call it, can destroy your motor.... You really need to address that. Try stepping up a notch on fuel octane, see if anything changes.

That is my fear as well. I fought the pinging for years and why I got the deathflash in 02. Wasn't until years later that people figured it out. So I finally broke down and bought a Hypertech in 07 and it pinged terribly (even with all the 'fixes' done).
So now that I'm hearing SCT can do the same thing, I'm disappointed. Again, my pcm is still loaded with Hypertech but just for the tire size. Then it was stolen so I can't get another tune without replacing the pcm or something.
