if your running about that much power i would change the plugs again to what i told you to use as standard ones don't like anything above the normal 212 and use high performance
HT leads i am running 350 and no problems

i have just literally changed the leads to factory ones from magnacor ones and factory plugs. And it seems ok for now just been on a little run. I will go back high performance parts if it does it again. Thanks again anyway
