Default Ping in 6th gear

Does anyone else get a horrible ping when you give it gas in 6th gear about 75 @2750-3000 RPM. I had the power commander dynoed after SE AC and pipes..

Can anyone who is not having this problem tell me thier PCIII settings for fuel and timing setting for 2750 and 3000 ?

It doesn't do it in anyother gear


2007 Ultra, SE AC, SE pipes

Retard your timing some in that RPM and throttle range.

Agree but I am doing trial and error. Update, run it, check for ping.

I assume I am not the 1st with this problem.

I was hoping I could start with someone elses success and modify for my specific instance
