running rough :/

Okay car runnin rough. Sounds like its misfiring at around 5000rpm. Was rebuild professionally about 5000miles ago. Got new plugs, leads and coils. Lightweight flywheel, lightweight pullys and AEM induction. Full decat exhaust. Exedy stage 2 clutch. Street port

If i drive normally it pops at every gear change and if i put clutch down revs will drop right down bounce abit then car cuts out. Has been fine untill now. However just had lughtweight fly and pullys fitted. Could b related? CIL is on will have it read in a couple days.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys!!

Likely related to something touched or moved when the new mods were installed.
Go back and re-check everything touched and make sure it was properly reinstalled.
