s300 data log issue

Recently while datalogging I have noticed that under full load conditions that the log starts clipping. It cuts out for a few seconds and then picks back up once the engine speed and boost had dropped. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so what would be the primary causes of this? I have attached a datalog and my base tune to illustrate my issue.

What is the serial number of the s300 inside the ECU?

From Help, About, what is the version of software you are using?

Are you using resistor or non-resistor type spark plugs?

I believe i am using non resistor type. Running NGK iridium ZFR6FIX-11 plugs. I tried running a search on the plugs but it doesn't tell me if these specific plugs are resistor or not.

If they are non-resistor then that is most likely the problem. Make sure you use resistor type plugs.

Do you have any suggestions? I know NGK tend to run better in Honda motors.

So after looking at NGK's website it has the plugs I am using as a resistor plug. Is it worthwhile to try a different set of plugs, or is there another issue I should be looking into?

Try a different set of plugs because they could have carbon build up that is causing this.

Put in a brand new set of plugs this afternoon. The weather is not conducive for me to do any hard pulls to see if it will alleviate the issue. I will report back once I've had a chance to take a couple runs.
