    I'm a newbe so wouldn't give tuning advice, but I'd verify charging voltage under those conditions. On another type EFI system we had low voltage at high rpms that caused shutdown at 150mph, came back on when battery load eased up. Ours was due to aftermarket annodizing of the mounting brackets not conducting ground well enough. Enough to drive around and go 120mph, but not more.

    make sure all grounds are good, had this happen before. does the truck shut off too?

    I've seen bad alternators cause this, and bad battery cables on your model....
