close the gap in your plugs down a notch or two. my turbo mustang would do that same thing half-full throtle to because of the amount of air being forced in is actually blowing the spark out. you may have it fueled right and timed right but if the ignition cant keep up it wont work. try gaping the plugs before you start putting money into it.
