Why 89 octane? Should be using 91 or higher, I use 93.

Manufactor states that the best octane for their LT1/LS1 camaros is 91-93 octane. Going lower than that could be causing your pinging sound. Try upgrading your fuel to one of the recommended octane levels. Don't use the highest as sometimes the octane rating could be too high, very rarely will you ever see that though. If you have a V6, then the pinging is caused by something other than the octane rating of the gas you are using.

I love this. Your car says "Premium fuel only" on it 3 times. Yet you put cheap shit in it? Thats like getting your wife 1 earing.
