Well, I found out what happened.

I talked with a Ford tech and got some real good ideas to check. I found out that the exiter ring on the flywheel for the crank sensor will break its welds and move a few degrees then reweld to the flywheel. Sounds like bs huh?
I also found out that the ring on the exh camshaft for the cam sensor will break loose and spin. Hmmm....

As it turns out, while watching the data stream while driving the car, it logged misfires on #1 cylinder. I checked the ignition system and found a bad spark plug that was shorting to ground under load. A set of plugs made this car run like a top.

I got my but kicked by a spark plug. I guess the saying rings true: keep it simple stupid.
