The pinging comes from a low quality gas. If you used a top tier brand all of the time, 87 octane wouldn't ping. Most people, including myself, use kroger or some other off brand. I use top tier 93 in my camaro but its 11.5:1 compression so it needs it. Octane rating is just at what point fuel combusts. In a low compression motor, you're not getting any detonation or early combustion, just not enough pressure there. The pinging will not hurt anything. Its just one of those things that people have heard throughout their lives, that premium is cleaner/better. I learned all about the octane when I started tuning and put the nitrous on my car.
