Default Missing at High revs

My Scooby seems to have a problem that we cannot get to the bottom of.

Some time ago it started to miss at higher revs and was told it was probably the coil packs or the plugs. Well i got the coil packs changed a few months ago and yesterday finally changed the plugs for a nice new shiny set of Greddy plugs. However the missing is still there!!! From about 5.5K upwards is where it seems to happen, but in the cold it seems to run much better, only missing slightly if at all.

Any idea what this could be?

Thanks

Pinking is when you hear a metalioc noise from the engine where the fuel is being ignited as the combustion temp is too high, normally very difficult to here as its so high, i thought you couldn't normally feel pinking? This feels like good old fashioned missing / spluttering?

We have put the apexi kit back on now and it "seems" to have cured it, but its only been one run so time will tell.
