How noticeable is pinking/pinging?

Post by spandit »

Playing with my MegaJolt ignition setup on my Pinz at the moment and I've read a lot about avoiding pinging/pinking but what does it sound/feel like so I can recognise it?

System is awesome, by the way, engine starts much better and drives fine even with basic ignition map
