This sound identical to an issue I ran into after my m20 stroker swap. Mine would cut out around 5k and then buck and eventually pull to 7. Chased it down for a few months and swapped many of the same parts.
One possibility I thought of and read about but never tried was the engine wiring harness. I recall reading a thread somewhere that described a similar issue and putting a new harness in resolved it. For example, it could be possible that a wire is partially broken somewhere so that the effective diameter is smaller and while it has continuity it has limited load carrying capability.
I ended up swapping to ms2 and the issue never occurred with that. I wanted to go ITBs eventually anyways so it was an excuse to start moving in that direction. Best of luck to you on this one. Hate how hard some of these gremlins can be.
