you could check to see if they are all hooked up correctly inside, or you can get some sweet msd's for like 75 bux. it will be 10X better and its a cheap mod you can keep around for whatever you add to the car :)

msd plug wires, positive firing, low resistance = hotter spark, high rpm stability, more current and voltage to the plug. less missing and incomplete burn = more hp. i wouldnt doubt if it made 4-5hp over stock wires at the top end :)
