Default Dyno done, but there is a problem...

I just got back from doing my dyno, had 4 pulls and this is the best one, however they all had a problem around 5300-5400 rpms, if you look at the sheet you can see, what could be causing this?

I'm completely stock except for WO tires all around.

Probably need to see the A/F ratio. But on another note, does anyone else see that HP and Torque don't cross at 5252 rpm? Or are my eyes deceiving me?

If you look close, torque and HP do cross at 5250, Most tunes have a maximum commanded power enrichment for about 100 to 200 rpm on either side of the torque peak for engine protection. This looks like it is being commanded too rich at that RPM. I wouldn't make any changes until, as others have suggested, you see what the A/F ratio was during a pull. That's too low of an RPM for valve train harmonics to be entering in. The other cause would be knock at your torque peak causing your computer to pull timing. Knock retard can be monitored during a run also.
