When I first read this post that was my very first thought. Check to make sure your crank sensor has the proper clearance. If too far from the reluctor ring it will miss fire. 
who knows if this is it or not. Just one of those things to check. Then you can rule it out it not...
Good luck,
Dave

we ran into a couple of things with the 1200 HP car, another of which is the trans torque limiters. I just went through your posts and it looks like it is hitting one of the limiters. We had a '98 car with an '02 PCM (auto) and we were running into this as well. The more power you make, the sooner it will hit the limiter. Also, the stock PCM can only read 255 kpa or 288 (PCM hard limit) in that year I believe also (I will have to check) Just because you set the dip to 315 doesn't mean it will read it necessarily... the throttle body is definately a problem also if it is a stock GM one. It will put it in limp mode before the scan tool catches it... (been there, done that) You may also want to try the colder plug (at least a 7 or eight) and pull the gap down to .017-.020.

yep- it's definately going into power reduction- look at your log from the first page- throttle posistion is 100%, and all of your other ETC pids are down to 8% desired or on their way down to 0. This is either from a torque limiter or the throttle body closing. It the t body throttle position and the APP vary at all, IT WILL PUT IT IN PR MODE IMMEDIATELY. Try it once- take the intake plumibing off and push the pedal to 100% inside the car. Have a buddy tip the t body closed with his finger on the outside (KOEO it will even do it) and it will PR. Look no further til that is resolved. Try to turn your t body upside down and see if it makes it better/ worse, or steal a buddies aftermarket one (we used a TPIS) they have a MUCH stronger spring. Beautiful set-up BTW.

Did you ever get this resolved? I broke my tranny before I could finish testing mine so I was just wondering if you ever got resolved. I was hoping for some inside info before I start trouble shooting.
Thanks,
