Default 2010 ss magnuson pinging

I'm looking at a 10 ss camaro with a magnuson supercharger at 8psi, the motor sounds 100 percent healthy until I took it up to 65 in 6th, I then gave half throttle to pass and heard a ping from the motor area. I noticed it once more at 40 in town in 4th. It is only under load and is otherwise healthy sounding. Please help me asap , is this a unsafe habit (putting a load on a ls3 ) or does this sound like something is actually wrong with the car???
Any help is much apritaiated

If you looking to buy it, when you make the deal, get them to deduct $600 for a tune. Don't let the dealer tell you that they can do it. It can be pinging, might be running too lean or too much timing or bad gas---needs 93
Wow, Durango---almost ski season

I'd pull all the spark plugs and use a digital inspection camera to inspect those cylinders and pistons. A supercharged engine that pings (detonates) destroys the pistons and cracks ring lands.
