dude fucking seriously? ^^
i dont think 9k rpm itself (if thats what he was revving to) caused this issue, however if he were detonating @ them rpm's i could def see this happening.
maybe he's got a problem injector and its not supplying that cylinder with enough fuel @ high rpms, or maybe since he's using nistune and you cant tune past 8k with nistune his fuel maps leaning out. or maybe too much timing up top (again cant tune past 8k)
