We just have to let go the throttle for a second and everything would be back to normal. Engine ping never occur under any other situation. My guess is for some reason the fuel mixture become lean and cause the ping.

I have cleaned the MAF numerous times and run through a few fuel system cleaners already. Fresh air filters and oil etc. Car is totally stock.

TIA.
Reread the problems statement... sounds like some knock at 600 RPM under load. I think this would be pretty normal for any high revving engine. You want it to go away, get a higher stall torque converter.
