Thanks.

I had assumed that a leaking head gasket or seals might cause an AFR related misfire. I may be way off on that.

I am going to try and get some more answers related to your other two questions.

The code I got for the cat is: 180001 catless downpipe detected.

What are your thoughts on using dielectric grease on the coil/plug connection?

Probably not doing any harm. Probably also not needed though.

I typically need to do 3rd gear pulls do to lack of location to get up to 4th gear speeds.

Car was feeling great, pulling hard. I shift to 4th wait a second or two and take my foot off the gas and start to upshift and brake. That's when the drive train malfunction popped, as I was braking.

Any insight would be appreciated.

For reference when looking at JB4 logs.

For the fuel pump values: each value represents 150 psi. So 15 is equivalent to 2250 psi.
For trim values: 25 is 0% trims, 50 is +33% trims, 0 is -33% trims.

Trims should definitely be negative running meth. I did a comprehensive video about reading JB4 logs. Find it on my YouTube channel: npharkes

Yeah, that's what surprised me about his log. His trims were positive.

I can confirm that the Eldor coils referenced by ZM2 earlier fit and operate properly on my f36 n55.
