There way too many variable involved in why an engine wont "ping" When Ron and I first went in for our tunes (my first engine) his torque was considerably higher, but HP was nearly the same. I was running nearly 17lbs, to his 12(?) 308 to a 347 his 9.18 to one to my 10.5:1 (verified AFTER the demise of the engine) and neither engine was "pinging" on pump gas, this was when mind you, we were running the EXACT same cam shaft. Metal composition, ring gap, fuel brand, etc can all play in why an engine wont ping. Doesn't work the same way with actual factual measures. Just because your engine is running better with the thicker gasket, doesn't mean it wouldn't run even better further so with a thinner one and a piston further in the deck.
