Engine Cutting Out

Maybe you guys have some ideas, because I am completley stumped.
AE92 4AGE converted to Solex Twin Carbs x 2 (Total of 4 carbs)
HKS 272 degree cams and sprokets
40 degrees advance
Ok, that's the basic engine specs
Running optimax plus octane boost.
For the first two weeks I had the car, reved to 9 no worries.
Then it started to cut out on cylinder number 2. The spark plug turns black after about 4 k's. I figuered it was probably a lead, or a bad plug or the coil, distributer. Ie something electrical. All the things that provide spark have been tested and verified as working.
So I thought maybe I'd melted a piston. Did I compression test. First 3 cylinders are 1100 and number 4 is 1200. So no issues' there.
I had the carbs tuned, no difference, still cutting out.
Reduced the timing slowly back to standard, trying ever 5 degrees. Still not fixed.
This problem only occurs after about 5 minutes of driving. Ie the engine is fine when it's cold.
So I've ruled out electrics, melted piston and carbs being out of tune.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any imput.
Mark
