Dyno tune or Auto tune

Dyno tune or Auto tune
I have an 09 Ultra w/ 1400 miles and have had the power package from Fuel Moto for about 1000 miles now. I don't have any problems with it, but someone told me they could hear pinging blipping the throttle while changing gears (he was pretty adamant about hearing pinging). I think I know what pinging sounds like (I grew up with cars in the early/mid 70's and they would ping like crap) but I don't hear the pinging myself. But this has got me worried. I don't run WOT, but I do cruise down the road pretty good. I bought the PCV in hopes of not having to spend the money on a dyno because I don't care if the dyno will get me an extra 3 or 4 horses. Since I was told I have pinging I've considered spending a few bucks to get a baseline dyno run to make sure my AFR's are ok, but don't know if this would show any issues with spark advance. I got to thinking last night, does the auto tune do pretty much the same thing as a dyno or would I still need a dyno tune with the auto tune. I don't know much about dyno's but I think they are pretty much done at WOT and like I said I'm not into WOT. I've considered talking to Fuel Moto about my concern and will probably do that in the near future, but what do I tell them, I think the bike runs fine but someone with more experience on bikes say they hear pinging. BTW I only getting 37 mpg, that doesn't bother me either but people think these bikes should be getting over 40 mpg, is that another reason to have a dyno tune and/or talk to Fuel Moto.
As always "thanks in advance"
