Default Back firing at high rmps

about to weeks ago i installed bk off road xpipe, bk headers, gt500 fuel pump, and the edelbrock e-force supercharger with the 10lb boost pulley. I took it to a good performance shop and got it tuned. The car ran great for about a week.Now when i put the pedal to the floor in the high rmps(around 4000) it cuts out and some times makes a pop like its back firing.If i slowly accelerate it doesnt do it. I talked to the guy at the performance shop and he said to check the spark plugs.Any other things i should check?

Is your traction control on? because it cuts power significantly...

I am guessing it is your sparkplugs. they start by failing on high rpms and the fail at any rpm but hi load and eventually always fail.
