Does it use a variable rate fuel pressure regulator? Could be sticking , causing it to starve for fuel under boost.

If that was the case his spark plugs would be white.
His spark plugs would loosen off after too much detonation just before it melts down.

If it falls on its face you are loosing fuel. Check your injectors, regulator and fuel pump inlet. If it’s been setting that could be your issue.
Just fixed mine from doing the same thing.

I agree with the regulator also. It’s running out of fuel!
