Uh, tq peaks around 3100 and picking up 3-4 deg KR till 5k...
I had my 317's ported and finally got it all back together and up to the shop for the dyno. With the new heads at about 70cc and a .040 cometic gasket I'm at about 11.6:1 SCR and 8.1:1 DCR. On the dyno pulls, my tq peaks at 430 at about 3100 and holds flat through 5k and then starts to fall off. My HP is peaking at 6000 which is also a bit low, but that's due to the cam being advanced 4 degrees. My main concern is why in the hell am I getting KR from 3k-5k? My tuner thinks it's because of the high cylinder pressure - did a compression test and all cylinders are reading about 225 psi. I'm going to retard the cam back 4 degrees to straight up but was wondering what else might be causing this. I'm running 93 gas with no ethanol so that shouldn't be an issue. Any ideas?

225psi is good, but not too much to justify backing your cam up. FWIW, my cranking psi is 245-250 and my DCR is 8.7+:1. No knock on 93 octane. Timing is 26 degrees around peak torque and 30 degrees at peak hp.
Could you be getting false knock?

Oh sorry about the H/J. Btw, what is your timing?

My quench is .032 as well, but I don't see me getting that much timing from this thing and it's not as hot here as it is in Texas I'm sure.
The cam is not a tooth off, it was installed 4 degrees advanced b/c I was running the stock 317's before and wanted the powerband lower for the heads to utilize it. I'm retarding the cam back to straight up now to see how that helps. Other than that, I have no clues on what's going on.

Have you upgraded your cooling system? All that cylinder pressure makes heat. You can't raise the DCR without improving the cooling system.
The other thing is that Patrick is running an AFR head, which can take more compression + timing, because it has a double quench area. Stock heads only have the single quench pad, so they are not as resistent to detonation. However, at 8.1:1 DCR, you should still be okay with 93 on a stock head.

Do you have a graph you can post or hp/tq numbers in rpm increments? That might shed some light on the subject. The shape of the curve tells a lot.
