Default dont know where to begin- please help!

[8D]I have an '87 coupe 306. Recently I have put on Paxton Supercharger 6-8lbs of boost. I did all of the necessary changes- bigger fuel pump, 24lbs injectors.When I am in full throttle the car makes great power until 4000-4200 RPMs. Then the car cuts out momentarily.I have plenty of fuel, seems to have good spark- I have an MSD Distributor, and a MSD ignition box. I thought it was the computer and had it dynoed with a custom tune but still having the same issue. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, DAN

the more advanced ignition boxes have timing retards and timing advance controls for engines running boost this could be beneficial if you do not have one

What are the plugs gapped at, you may be having spark blow out.
