If you get a custom tune they tune those codes out. Superchips isn't exactly a "custom tune" that you referred to in your initial post.

Yes I know, I have a custom tune and trying to avoid going back for a new one if I can avoid it. I was saying I have a tune that was provided by magnasun for the supercharger. I am tempted to try it, but I will loose the custom tune and I will probably start tripping codes. Thanks for all the help.

If you already have a custom tune from the tuner then there shouldn't be a big charge to tweak it. Most people I've talked to would normally ask $20-80 for a retune depending on what's needed. Pinging is probably a minor timing touchup so unless the tuner rakes people over the coals it shouldn't be a big deal.

I have a similar set up...mine is a magnussen blown 6.0...ss...with the ngk w/ 1 degree cooler plug TR6...which after having it mapped it ran great...who ever installed the blower ran stock fuel mixture the plugs were solid white which meant it was way too lean...I had the fuel curve mapped and timing adjusted at the speed shop...with a 3.3 pulley and the magnaflow exhaust and headers it put me in the 510 hp at the flywheel...I also have a larger air intake and a spectre filter run wide open in the compartment, breathes a lot better than that goofy scoop lookin deal the kit came with...I just dropped the pulley to a 3.0 which gave me another 40 hp, but with the additional compression I think im getting a little blow by, so timing needs a little tweek....he also said with the atmosphere im in, the summertime we ALWAYS lose performance because the ambient temperature is higher, adding that to the heat already produced by the compressed air, I may need to run an methanol injector, another 350 bucks but also another 35 to 40 hp

Just wanted to post an update in hopes this may help others. I found the problem finally! It was the intercooler pump not working, replaced the pump with one from eBay and all is perfect again.

Just thought I would update everyone on this. The problem ended up being my bosch intercooler not working. Got a new one from Ebay, all is well again, pinging gone. Hope this helps someone else out.
