I know I will get yelled at for posting this but it is funny and is the reason we made the shirt!
I would bank on detonation, any idea if the injectors were maxed out? By maxed out I mean higher than 85% injector duty cycle (not 100% like everybody thinks) ? Looks like the problem to me with out knowing enough to really point fingers.
I can even expand further by saying what if, what if the fuel was a little old, say 91 octane by the point you are burning it and the injectors are almost maxed out, i.e. no head room left, and blam they skip a few beats with sub par fuel compounding the problem?

P.S. - If you want to read/geek out about tuning in general, check out the Innovate Motorsports WideBand web site under tuner resources. (aka the FORUMS)
Engine Tuning Resources : Engine Tuning Videos/ Tips/ Basics/ Advice for Maximum Performance.
They talk about everything that matters in relation to fuels, pump, race, nitrous, meth, etc. etc.
