Evo 8 breaking up at higher Rpms

Okay so i have an 05 evo 8, it has a fully built brian crowler head with stage 2 272 cams, stock cam gears havent gotten it tuned yet.. the car ran fine the first week. i took it to the track it ran great Ran 13.3's then on the way home i went to get on it it started breaking up a little so i just babied it till i got home and check all my piping everything was good. Took it out and tried again, The breaking up got worst. So i replaced my plugs and wires, it got better but still breaks up. Replaced my fuel pump it got better now it only breaks up at higher rpms. Is there anything i can replace that may fix it, I dont want to go spend all that money on a tune and have it not fix the issue..

take it to a evo/tuning shop to get it properly done. dont take shorcuts. they know your evo better than you do. its their expertise.

You just spent money on cams and a fully built head... Cant afford to get a tune? Im sure the shop will help you diagnose your problem...
and enough of me yelling lol try running some ngk 1 step colders think ther BPR8ES and try closing the gap a little. I don't get why u are going to the track and racing the car with no tune and some serious upgrades....

oh no im not saying i dont have the money for the tune... i just dont want to waste the 600 bucks for the tune and still have it break up. i just dont see what would cause it to go from running perfectly fine to breaking up. i didnt know if there was maybe something i was missing or not. and it was only on low boost at the track.
