There are multitude of threads regarding KR, but I haven't found one yet that indicates how much is acceptable. Assuming that zero is ideal, what is an acceptable range? 2, 3, 4 ...?

Ten different people will give you 10 different answers. IMO, more than a couple of degrees anywhere in the RPM range is cause for concern. The PCM will sense knock and cut the timing back and report the KR's but that's just a reaction to the problem. I prefer to tune or build to avoid the problem before it happens. I am running 11 psi of boost and no matter how we tuned some KR's were still there. After installing the intercooler my KR's are now zero. I advise all those that wish to run a 3.4" pulley on the series V superchargers that an IC is a must.
What does your setup look like?

Zero KR is ideal, but how much is OK really depends on when it happens (WOT, cruise, coasting, engine braking, transients, etc), how much it is (3 degrees or .3 degrees), and how long it happens (a single data sample or 20 data samples - this also depends on how quick you ecm is).
