Default 3.9 v8 spluttering

hello, i have an "R" reg discovery 3.9 v8 with an LPG conversion, the problem is the car seems to splutter and loose power when full throttle is applied.
ive changed dizzy cap and rotor arm (the arm was arking), its always had recent services etc.
ive been told to try some performance ht leads becuase the current ht's dont seem to be ignighting the lpg properly, could this solve the problem?

this is the set ive been looking at

are these any good or does anyone have any recommendations with this engine?

any suggestions or help is much apprieciated

cheers!

Sure it could be your wires if they are old or ot made to take high temps. These are proven wires and a favorite around here:

That was for a DII, here are the wires for a DI: and most other land rover models are available at the same website.

Ask Urban Panzer where he gets his wires, he's from the UK.

Those wires look ok to me, try that and if that does not cure the problem look into replacing the coil.
If it cant send enough spark down the leads then it will cause rough running.
