hes a story about KR, when the pcm see's KR it pulls timing, less timing and it falls on its face.
when my car was stock i had 8º of kr, at wot i had like 5º of timing, where it should have been around 13º. its how the pcm tries to save the engine from meeting chip.
not bashing you, trying to save you from a engine swap. headers are your first mod always. then you can drop pulleys and tune it to be right.
and a canned tune is just some settings that worked on another car, its not a custom tune. every car takes mods differently and needs its own personal tuning done to be all it can be. ( in a perfect world anyways) we all dont own a tuner, i know.
and a tune up would have been done already if the car was mine. cause thats the cheapest thing to change. and you've not changed them since you took over the car right?
if its got copper core plugs they only last 12 to 15,000 miles, and cost less then 20 for all 6 plugs.
if its got plats in there thats another issue and reason for it to fall on its face hard, 3800's hate plats pretty much. and love copper.
