Sounds a lot more like fuel cut due to too much boost. Once you get to 8.6psi fuel is cut to the rear rotor. You need a fuel cut defender if you want to boost higher. Tell us what your mods are.
BTW, you won't feel if the trailing coil stops working. It does very little for power, it's mainly for emissions and economy.

I kept having problems with mine also.
Finally figured out it wasn't grounded well enough!
Check to make sure the little square resistor type thing is grounded and also the gold colored metal box that is connected to the coil is grounded.
Another ground you need to check is the ground to your starter.

trailing coil question
If you have stuttering I would check your leading coil, make sure there is good connection, pull the female connectors out of the plug and crimp them down and them try it. I had this problem when I installed my rebuild. Gary
