Default bad tune or bad valvetrain

so i used my hp tuners to scan my car as i did some thrashin to tryand figure out why i have a hickup between 5000-6000 rpm. car pulls hard any other rpm but up around in there not so much an dif u listen closely it sounds liek its skippin beats. i have done plugs, wires, fuel filter, pcv as far as tune-up stuff goes. here are the scanner logs maybe some oen wil see sometin that i dont. just trying to figure out if its just the tune or did somethin in my vavletrain die. thanx

Well, without even looking at your logs, what's done to the car? Heads, cam, valve springs, etc.

If you have a valvetrain instability, it usually shows up in this area and you get valve float/flutter which would kill your power.

The first thing I notice is that at higher rpms your throttle position is actually decreasing. You're going from 100% down to 94-96% throttle. Not sure how much of a difference that will make, but talk to Joe Gibbs racing about how much less power a partially closed throttle body makes.

lol, at your Joe Gibbs comment. The change in throttle position could be part of the problem.
