this is far from true msd are one of the best wires proven..but that would have nothing todo with it....useing that stock cams is a BIG factor i mean come on your just boosted you compression like 3Points with that little lift cam still pulling in the same air/fuel there are many things to check but i would not get my hopes up just throwing in high copmpression pistons

1. If plug wires are blowing out, could be a leak past the valve cover seals.
2. If John tuned it, I'm sure your timing is OK or he would have said something.
3. If you jumped your compression up significantly and you are on the stock cam, that could be your main power issue. Cams and pistons should be viewed as a package. You can lose power by your engine working against itself with high compression and too little cam to bleed off compression. In short, your motor may be straining to put the squeeze on the air/fuel, killing crank inertia and robbing power. This is why dynamic compression is a more important number than static.
Longer duration, bigger lift cams will allow some compression to bleed back into the intake on the compression stroke.
Think of it this way: you don't boost compression to get more compression for its own sake, you boost compression because you need more of it to run bigger cams. You left that part out of your upgrade package. Your engine is saying, WTF?

valve cover seals might be bad where the spark plugs go! check that
