what's the gap?
I'm not sure what people think heat range does for misfires but going 1 step colder won't stop a misfire.
Sounds like it could be spark blow out. I would gap the plugs down to .030 first and try that. If not i would look into there being an issue on that load cell in the map. maybe a disturbance in the airflow across the maf at that specific rpm

In the past, on stock alternator, I noticed a voltage dip on the power line feeding the ignition coils at high rpms. It could be that your alternator is getting hot/weak, or battery is low, or wiring possibly exacerbating the issue.

^ +1 - oh yeah, didn't see e85. You could use a fuel pump voltage bump (boost a pump) and maybe larger injectors. Check duty cycle and fuel pressure to decide which to do first.

wow, completely missed the fuel thing. I was thinking this was a misfire only at that rpm and it cleans up.
mid 500 hp is where i calculated the 340 to run out of fuel on an e85 tune when someone else was asking. I would be a little scared if it's just running out of fuel and the tuner didn't notice this though.
edit: i see why i missed the fuel thing. He added it after my post.

Nobody needs to believe me because I'm a know-nothing... but I'm celebrating inside a little bit because if it is in fact E85 taxing that pump and those injectors it means you are all TEACHING me something because I had that one nailed.
So maybe I'm boasting a bit- but boasting on YOUR behalf! I think it's finally starting to make a little bit of sense.
Sorry- just sayin'
