Turns out that the new air filters are less restrictive than the S&B's that i had and was making the engine run lean, it didn't occur to me that there would be that much of a difference between air filters of a similar type.

So I have replaced the old filters and it's back working fine again, oh and one of the new plugs was faulty and an HT lead was shorting out.
