The engine will ping if you have an upper intake manifold leak. Common problem. It pings because it is always running leaner than the computer expects. Lean mixtures like to detonate.

Ok, just following up. These plugs are still working great. I don't think they perform any better than the double platinum, but they might last longer, or operate in the sweet spot longer.

After 100,000 miles you'll know if they were good or not! I think it is really hard to improve over the factory ones.... time will tell.
