Default 04 5.4 screw pinging under load?????

hey guy's a strange one here i did some searching but didnt come up with anything so i thought i would throw this out to the experts....
2004 5.4 with 35k on her, i am having a ping on heavy accelration
or under load... have a vmp tune for 87 performance truflow air filter
and sido flowmaster 40 series... never had a ping before with all this stuff
in place... i recently got a bad batch of gas and since have replaced the fuel
filter and did a bg fuel induction service. this has me going crazy....
no cel's and she idles fine. i have also noticed there isnt as much pep
since this has started......? anyone have any ideas?
: blush:

Do you run premium fuel? If not try it and see if it goes away.
