Default Superchip flashpaq

How common is it to have pinging develop when using a superchip in JK. If you return it back to stock will it go away.
I'm finally picking up some 35 Duratracs and was considering a superchip but have read a lot of issues with pinging.

Thanks

I have not had any pinging. Ran all the tunes except mileage excess. Always used the specified octane and never had a problem.

Might need to use Premium fuel to stop the pinging, sometimes the Regular fuel causes it on engines with modifications. Might also be able to try an engine flush that is done through the throttle body to clean up the fuel/intake system.

I'm getting ready to order superchip and read some reviews. Besides all the great reviews, there are people with bad reviews talking about engine pinging. Like everyone else I just don't want to screw up my motor in the long run
