Don't know if you really need another dyno re-tune, I'd just pull the AFR down lower. If I remember right your motor was stoich at WOT. I'd bring it down a point or two, should help the ping prob.

Drop the CR 1/2 a point, colder plugs, more gas in the mix... should run on 91 all day. If you care about that sort of thing. I would def bet the plug fouling was a result of the Torco.
You guys keep forgetting about quench. Yep, that'll bite you in the ass. Quench should be around .045. Much bigger than that and you're right back to pre-ingition with your lower compression.

I don't see where that plug was fouled. It had a lot crap on it, but that didn't mean it wasn't firing. I'd have to look at that plug close up. To be sure.
