Default Timing trouble
I checked my timing and it was set to 12 degrees. I filled up my tank w/ premium (93) then I advanced my timing to 14 degrees and it started pinging. WTF is wrong with that? I've seen plenty of ppl on here with more timing and no problems. ??

Thats weird. I run 93 and have my timing at 18*. Normaly people run 91 at 14*. Id just set it down to 12 or 13 and leave it.
