it could be the fan hitting the shroud, but i think you would have other problems 
i'm thinking maybe a boost leak, or could it be the front cat? exhaust leak?

Does it have 93 or higher octane in it?
Old gas?
It could be just enough of a pinging but not enough to blow a seal if you werent really beating on it.

It sounds metal to metal, just like when a tranny eats itself, but we know if isn't the tranny. It's like CRACK, CRACK, CRACK. Let off the gas, it goes away. Doesn't even always do it on flats, but I can do it 100% on hills through all 4 gears.

cars do ping and still drive normal, for now maybe try topping the tank with some of the highest octane you can get, I think for the TIIs you should be running premium shouldnt you?
I dont know, just reaching here, at least it wont cost you anything right?
