[DML] Re: stage II

If changing the coil and the ignition wires added power then I submit
your old ones were worn out and it had nothing to do with the
performance parts you installed. The fact that the parts you installed
were new and in good condition was probably the reason you noticed any
improvement (not that they were performance parts).
