Default Random Misfires maggied LS2

Ran a turbo mustang last night. We hit it from a 40mph roll, I was out on him 1/2 a car up to 130 when the CEL blinked then stayed on. He then drove around me. The CEL has blinked on high speed runs before and the code is random misfire. Ive watched youtube videos of other V's CEL doing this. Im thinking when the CEL stayed on it must have pulled timing and killed power. How can i find the random misfire?

Tuner said check the spark plugs to see if the motor was hurt. Plugs looked great, but had one plug wire that was loose. Not sure if i had moved it today or if it was loose before. Ill know more when i drive it later.
