1G DSM ignition woes

So, I'm running out of idea's to solving my WOT misfire. 35ish psi, higher compression (9.6:1) 2g pistons. AFR's 11.5-12 on the gauge(When it fires), E85.

Things I've tried:
-More spark power, bought a Dynatek with the plug/harness to work with stock coils

-Different plug heat range, tried BR8es(too cold) BR7ES(look good, still miss) BPR8ES, only hit it once, and at stock gap, missed so bad I lost most of the boost.

-Ohm'd out the coil pack, primary and secondary, then swapped to another one anyway (that also ohms out good).

-Swapped Power Transistor, made no difference.

-Dynatek is set to crank, rising edge, restrike (though that shouldn't matter above 4500 rpm), in the engine bay power wires mounted right to the battery posts with terminals.

-I've tried clocking the plugs with the electrode strap facing the intake side.

-I know the logic is just run a smaller gap, but at .018" it will still blow out, and generally seems to be getting worse, I have read about people with the dynatek's running with fairly large gaps (.028-.035) at 600whp, That might be a bit much. But anything below .020" is really annoying on the highway cause of the periodic missfire, even with restrike on. I'd question that, but with a stock gap the car runs perfect till you get to 25 psi, then it blows them right out.

Has anyone fought with this before? And what did you end up doing? I am hearing about guys direct wiring their ecu to the dynatek, and skipping the Power transistor... but was hoping to avoid too much more hacking of the wiring harness, does this even make a difference?

I know e85 dsm and ignition is a battle, but I really thought this Dynatek was going to be the answer, and I'm just not seeing much of a gain at the moment, any idea's?
