ID ignition misfire under load

been battling this engine misfire issue for quite some time now. got it tuned real good, the afr and timing are real conservative. played with trigger filters and most any setting there and still cuts out/misfires up top. i got a datalog of it on the dyno for you smart guys to look over and see if i missed something. btw i datalogged trigger and it showed nice and linear.

Lol didn't notice that haha crazy...well guess it didn't fix it. Previously ran an e6k with stock coils made 513 hp no issue. I run this new sport 1000 & sprint re and aem coils and I have nothing but ignition cutout issues from day one. Not very impressed... can anybody shed some light on this nightmare?

Yeah the coil grounds are on the same rotor housings the spark plugs are on. The other power and grounds are to strong reliable sources. Air fuels are in the mid 11s consistantly under boost. After a lot of dyno test runs I'm suspecting spark blowout. I'm ordering a set of R6725-10 ngks. I have a few suspicions and want to see if this works before I explain why i suspected this. Ill keep ya posted

I have battled with misfire/ hesitation in the past. The famous 5500 rpm misfire while using the EMS Stinger EMS was solved by changing the vac source to the map sensor to a different place ion the UIM. A very unlikely soultion, but this is what cured the prob after trying everything else. On my E8 I had an intermittent 7000+ rpm stumble and this was solved by adjusting the home filter.
