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.
