Aftermarket intakes are a waste of money for your setup and 99% of all Machs and Cobras. A throttle body is a waste too for your car. There's just no restriction there with the stock blower and pulleys. I'd focus on fuel first. Try adding torco accelerator and see if the pinging stops. If it does, you've either been getting bunk fuel or the tune was written too aggressively.
