   try filling it up with optimax or a least super unleaded and see if that solves it, if not try an uprated fuel pressure regualtor www.gmcmotorsport.co.uk

   what air filter are you running?
   
   Pinking or "pre-ignition" can be cured by cooling the inlet air temprature(by way of a cold air induction), reducing the load on the engine, or by increasing the rpm(changing down a cog).
   
   Or failing those simple sugestions, as Scott says, increase the air fuel ratio by way of an uprated fuel presure regulator, thus cooling the chrge.
