By the look of the a/f ratio i could see why it would be detonating down low, thats a pretty lean a/f ratio for wide open throttle down low even if the a/f ratio is .3 richer than the reading. When I tuned my buddies ve it would detonate/ping heavily from about 2500-4000 until i richened it up as the a/f was about 14:1 in that area then dropped down to 12.9-13.1:1 up top throughout.
Its definitely a good starting platform and definitely a lot of room for improvement. Thats makes it all more fun. If you do everything at once you will never learn which parts work the best and how much each part affects the power.
