    I'm not seeing any issues in that datalog. Does it do it every time at that RPM? Does it get better above that rpm? Can you get an datalog of it actually cutting out?

    50 degrees is to high.

    Add Cylinder Airmass to your channels and relog. Log for a little bit in Park first, give it a touch of throttle. Then go for a drive.

    His High Octane Timing table is stock from 0.40 gs and lower. It's normal to see 50 degrees of timing in a stock timing table during decel/low throttle conditions.

    Thanks Kevin, I had originally wrote something similar to what you said, but I was noticing he's giving it throttle while driving and seen its at 50 degrees advance. He might be experiencing pre ignition.

    Its not timing, its not pre-ignition
    throw some plugs in it, check the wires.

    At that rpm its likely secondary ignition misfire

    also this being a swap, if this has aftermarket coils, throw them away and get some factory coils
