It can't be that! Did you gap the plugs right?

Even if they say the plugs are pregapped, id still check them! Sometimes the plugs come gapped to different specifications! So checking wouldn't hurt and also how does your timing look?

Well the only thing with the s13 and s14 cams you can do is swap out the intake cam for the s14, IIRC! But there is a thread, I think in 240 gen, about the 248/248 cam swap! Read that and you can make your decision from there!
