Pinging Question

[03MUSCLE]

So I havent drivin my car for a while (8 weeks). I did a couple of spirited runs though 3rd and fourth heard some pinging (detonation). so I filled it up with 91 and some octane booster (8oz) should i be ok or should i have the tune checked? Its the first time ive heard any pinging since the TVS and custom tune back in April

Pinging isn't good. I would take it easy and burn up that tank of gas and try again. If it pings with fresh gas, something is wrong. Good luck.

Thats what i was thinkin if it pings on the next tank im calling my tuner.

Don't use the auto parts house octane boosters. In a very short time the o2 sensors will develop a thin coating that will cause false readings including detonation.

I just used it this one time to add to the tank of gas. Ill run this tank out and add a fresh tank of gas.

No real world experience using off the shelf octane booster, BUT always read it raises 91 octane to something like 91.2.

Why not order at least 1 can of Torco if you want to raise the octane level some.

A can of Torco has a shelf life of 2 years. Good to keep one around.

Sounds like you got a bad tank of gas.
