don't know the site but i bet if you run better gas, ie higher octane or take some timing out of your engine you won't ping.

Some of the biggies for 94-95's that ping are:

Clean the MAF, check/clean/replace the ECT, check/clean/replace the IAT.

A lot of guys have luck with products like Seafoam.

And backing timing down/octane up, as mentioned, helps. The SN puter is load based and has issues with low load, low RPM pinging, even though you might not ping at WOT (it is a factory tune issue).

Good luck.
