When it happens, it does pull timing. Logged it myself. I could always hear it launching from 1st gear. Probably due to getting the clutch engaged too soon to get the car moving. If I stayed on the throttle and clutched out later, I could in most cases avoid it. But the warmer it got outside, the worse it would be. I was running 94 octane as well, so I gave up on it. I think half the problem was the airbox itself. It didn't seal nicely to the hood and all that hot air just made it more prone to ping.It's just tip in/part throttle knock which doesn't hurt anything, it's just annoying. Once you give it the sauce it instantly cleans up. The FP tune doesn't reduce the knock sensor sensitivity, but it does bump up the knock recovery rate a decent bit over stock making it more likely to be audible.
I run an Injen intake now. It's a beautiful sealed design. I toyed with the idea of using it with the PP2 tune but that would require me to modify the intake MAF tube. Cutting the adapter inside and there would be no going back. Then somehow getting it to connect to the big throttle body. That's an expensive experiment if it doesn't work.
