'98s have a known knock sensor problem, have
you replaced yours with the part type that
supersedes them, '99-up?

Your two codes are cooling fan 2/3 relay and
idle speed high. The fans might make for some
hot-weather, after-high-load ping but I doubt
the idle speed has to do with anything. Though
with the mod list and mystery tune, who knows
what non-code-setting mixture / spark influence
might be present?

The P0507 is more than likely caused by too big of a hole being drilled in the TB and the idle hanging high. If not, then have the car re-tuned.
