Default engine missfire

Engine on bro saph cossie missfires on high boost, after 4000 revs. Changed leads, plugs and hoses. Also have sprayed sensors with wd40 and the problem is still there. Anybody have an idea?

Usually an engine missfiring is associated with timing, so i would check that out and make sure it is running correctly.
